A high-spirited road trip is interrupted when a group of friends pick up Dara (Shareefa Daanish), a girl who has just been robbed and offer to take her home to a mysterious house in the deep woods. No good deed goes unpunished, to the tune of severed limbs, decapitations, and several flavors of graphic mayhem. Full length expansion of The Mo Brothers short DARA.

Two girls (Eri Otoguro and Yukie Kawamura), one boy (Takumi Saito), a mad scientist lab, and blood-laced sweet treats - high school love triangles go berzerk in this body-modified, gore-spouting, self-mutilating, seriously un-PC romp from Yoshihiro Nishimura, the director of TOKYO GORE POLICE. Based on a manga by Shungiku Uchida, VAMPIRE GIRL VS. FRANKENSTEIN GIRL was co-directed by Naoyuki Tomomatsu (STACY, ZOMBIE SELF DEFENSE FORCE) and features the talents of action director Tak Sakaguchi (VERSUS, AZUMI, GODZILLA: FINAL WARS, BE A MAN!
