Stacy movie poster
Stacy takes the position at the head of list of weird films I?ve seen in the last year, and probably takes a position among the top five or ten weird films I?ve ever seen. The film has a three-part plot stemming from the premise: that all young women die of a mysterious disease sometime between the ages of 15 and 17, then reanimate as flesh-eating zombies?called Stacies?who can only be killed by being dismembered into 156 pieces.

1. A scientist and his military bunker full of support staff are researching the Stacy phenomenon and trying to find a cure.
2. A group of three young women are working to earn the 1,000,000 yen needed to hire a celebrity Stacy-killer to ?re-kill? them after they reanimate.
3. A puppeteer meets and befriends a young woman in ?Late Stage Happiness,? a two-week mania that preceeds Stacy-fication. She has asked him to ?re-kill? her.

The film?s plot is trippy enough, with horrifying gore effects involving wiggling bits of bodies and lots of blood everywhere. But on top of that, we have trippy Japanese ads (as in the image above, for home chain saws in the ?Bruce Campbell?s Right Hand? line, we have zombies who give off a blue fairy dust that makes their victims docile, and we have a strange group of zombie-killing soldiers called Romeros.

But then on top of it, there are some secondary ideas about the Stacies being motivated not by hatred or hunger, but by love, and a strange end to the film that suggests a post-war world in which humans and Stacies co-exist and intermarry. That?s right, I said intermarry. I?m not sure what else to say about this film except that it is strange, strange, strange.
