Written and directed by Seiji Chiba (Evil Ninja), featuring action choreography by Yuji Shimomura (Versus; Shinobi; Death Trance) and Kensuke Sonomura (The Machine Girl; Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle) and described by the Montreal Gazette as “a ton of fun,” Alien Vs Ninja is one insane, action-packed, martial arts-meets-sci-fi gore-fest that delivers everything its perfectly descriptive title promises.
Returning from a deadly mission against a rival clan, a small group of legendary Iga Ninja warriors witnesses a blazing fireball roaring across the sky before crashing to earth in the distant forest. Rushing to the scene to investigate, they are caught completely off guard when they discover and are besieged by a pack of brutal and extremely ravenous extra-terrestrials and their slimy offspring – unwelcome visitors who most definitely have not come in peace. Quickly realising their swords, knives and throwing stars are ineffective against these intergalactic predators, the fearless ninja find themselves facing their greatest challenge ever in a mammoth fight for survival.
“A film that promises entertainment and then delivers it” (Todd Brown, Twitch), Alien Vs Ninja is a wall-to-wall celebration of “killer Kung Fu, gratuitous violence, silly splatter [and] high-powered action” (Frightfest) that gleefully remains true to the tradition of Asian extreme cinema favourites.
Alien Vs. Ninja (cert. 15) will be released on DVD (£12.99) by Revolver Entertainment on 7th February 2011.
