March 31, 2012The brother of a high school girl is bullied to death by the son of a Yakuza and she wreaks her revenge using a prosthetic arm fashioned from a machine gun. Gore can work. The over the top loony tunes violence of Ichi The Killer, the visual invention of Tetsuo and pure slapstick ... read more

May 14, 2011Noboru Iguchi takes low budget to another level with The Machine Girl.
There isn't a much to think about when it comes to the plot and what it all comes down to is a 90 minute story of bloody revenge; emphasis on the bloody. The introduction hooks, delivers, and then ne

February 22, 2011Outlandish Japanese (where else?) gore-fest about a high school girl on a quest for revenge against the boys responsibe for the death of her young brother - the ring leader of which just happens to be the son of a sadistic Yakuza boss. It's completely OTT and tongue-in-cheek with... read more

October 16, 2010It's hyper-violent and over-the-top in gore which makes it unrealistic and amusing. We're talking ordinary people breaking out in skilled violent attacks while laughing hysterically, and fountains of blood. Lots of blood everywhere. Many of the CG'd effects are a bit clumsy but t... read more

July 14, 2009A whos-who of low-budget over-the-top death sequences. You have such classics as Chainsaw stab, Chainsaw slide (both perpendicular and, gasp, parallell), the "shot with such a big gun it leaves a hole in your torso", and the only-seen-in-cartoons "I sliced you in 5 pieces, but it... read more

March 5, 2009Looks like I'm the only person on my friends' list this underwhelmed by this movie. Following Tokyo Gore Police may have effected my downgrading of Machine Girl's rating.
This is a boring revenge flick that plays off comedic/cartoonish stylings as seen in Evil Dead. None of the ... read more -
January 1, 2009Fantastically insane. Marvel at the pure cinematic wonder of the "dril bra". Machine Girl is cheap and tacky, but to hilarious effect. The gore is surprisingly gross out but also very funny. Seeing somebody's face shot into a million pieces is just brilliant. The blood flows and ... read more

August 11, 2008Kuolee, kuolee, kaikki kuolee!
This film is an insane gorefest and can be likened to the rather brutal revenge/exploitation films of the 70's as well as some FPS games (the style of the shoot-outs). The violence is gratuitous and ludicrous, the characters are caricatures, and ne... read more

A riotous blend of arterial spray and grindhouse glee. Full Review

Russell Edwards, Variety
Shameless gore, gallows humor and guilty pleasures are the byproducts of a mechanical plot and impressive helming. Full Review

It thrives on being nothing but another mediocre Asian entry that's cooler in description than it manages to be as a film... Full Review

It's smart enough to really cut loose and relaxed enough to be funny. Full Review

Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
Though bored at times by the repetitive artlessness of the gore ... I was entertained by the movie's sheer heedless hunger for the junk it's chewing up and spitting out. Full Review
