Ghost Squad
Rika has a problem. She sees ghosts, she has an abusive father, and she just broke up with her 'man-turd' of a boyfriend. However, one of the ghosts realize that she can see them and calls some friends to help her out when she's attacked by her former man-turd boyfriend at work. Because she became closer to death, the ghost friends help out by making him partially commit seppuku, filling a mug with his blood, and then making him drink it. At first, I was worried that this was going to be too cutesy-cutesy, and it is. It's like Sailor Moon had a child with Michael Meyers.
Part of the reason the ghosts are helping out is because they can't ascend until revenge is complete. Lucky for everyone, this extends the story a little but it also is dragged out at the half way point. All we know for sure is that a yakuza group needs to be exterminated because they're responsible for most of the ghosts deaths.
With a comically over the top violent scene to start the movie, it lames out quickly. And just like that, the schtick is over and I'm bored. Even with the gratuitous cheesecake scene. Needless to say, a total let-down and it's time to move on to a horror movie with actual horror.
Sunday: Danny Trejo never says no....
