Another Hole in the Head Film Festival kicks off at 5 p.m. this Thursday with the Japanese Film Death Kappa.
From the description:
“The premise of DEATH KAPPA starts out simply enough: Kanako is a failed pop star who goes out to the big city to pursue her dreams only to return to the country to live with her grandma. Immediately upon her return things go further amiss as her doting granny is knocked sky high by a car of mindless drunken punk kids. They continue their reckless driving and drunken mayhem and smash into the shrine that is the keeper of the town Kappa. This brings the Kappa to life who is, initially, a benevolent Yokai creature and loved by the people of the town. This comes to a halt and things begin to get ugly as Yuriko, the granddaughter of a mad scientist continues his mad attempt to create the “ultimate soldier” who is half fish and half human. However, in her mad quest she inadvertently detonates an Atomic bomb. The result of this is a horrible mutation that causes the fish soldier and the Kappa to grow to epic and devastating proportions. Can the city be saved? Will this be the end of all humanity? You’ll need to see this one!”
