It is a Japanese rock-and-roll zombie movie starring the real garage band Guitar Wolf as themselves, in which aliens raise the dead, motorcycles catch fire, heads explode in geysers, and the power of rock — stated plainly, repeatedly, as a law of the universe — is the only thing that can save the world. It runs a shade under a hundred minutes and contains more pure joy per reel than almost anything I can name.</p>Thu, 06 Jun 2024 11:00:00 +0000
