Japanese films are just... out there.

This film was strange, and honestly, whenever something from Japan appears in my mailbox thanks to what is left of Blockbuster, I find myself scratching my head.

The plot is that a schoolgirl discovers she has the strange power to turn part of her body into a weapon. After slaughtering the residents of a local shopping mall, she is taken in by others of her her kind, called HILKO, who are apparently a subspecies of humanity with strange "treasures" including having odd things pop out of parts of your body you wouldn't expect them to.

The movie's climax involves the HILKO destroying most of their members (isn't it hard to reproduce as a species if you kill all your young females?) in largely pointless attacks on regular Japanese folks before the few surviving ones get into a pointless, over the top battle.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be an action film or a comedy film.
