Leave it to the Japanese to come up with a movie where a virus transforms the students at an all-girl school into flesh eating monsters, and only the bikini clad swim team can save the day. You see, the zombies have an unnatural fear of chlorinated water, which of course leads to several scenes where blood-soaked, skimpily attired Japanese schoolgirls fight off the infected, but is there to the movie than that?

Not really.

All a movie with that title asks is that you get on its wavelength, enjoy it for what it is and admire the cast in their swimsuits. Director Koji Kowano (Cruel Restaurant) knows this, so his camera lingers on every curve, erect nipple and pert behind as his actors swim, sunbathe, shower and fight off a zombie horde. For good measure, and in order to maintain viewer interest, he also throws in a lengthy lesbian sex scene.

With its porno production values, cheap effects and emphasis on female nudity, Attack Girls has even less ambition than Zombie Strippers, but it’s better-paced and, in true Japanese style, so disarmingly gonzo it’s difficult not to be entertained.
