Word of the collaboration between director Go Ohara (Geisha Versus Ninja) and effects man Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police) on Gothic And Lolita Psycho leaked out a while back, a little before the producers were prepared to have word in public, but with the film now wrapped we've got a first look at the poster art for the picture. Yes, this is a hardcore splatter picture riffing on the Japanese loligoth culture. Here's the official synopsis:
Gothic and Lolita ... the fashion reflects her dark and childish mentality. YUKI, the heroine, saw her mother killed by cruel gangs. She vows revenge! Knock off the enemies with her transformable umbrella. So gorgeous and so savage...
Who killed mother? What the hell are the gangs? What is the truth and purpose that father knows? Her coming terrible destiny is going with the dead bodies.

Suedeheads also used brollies (aka umbrella's) as a weapon on rival football fans, rival gangs, Hells Angels/Grease and Hippies early 70s, that's how they got the nickname Brolly Boys. They sharpend the tip though or hide a knife in the handle.
An interesting poster no doubt; I can't say that I'm a fan of Tokyo Gore Police but I found Geisha Versus Ninja absolutely hilarious.
Two articles in a row with lolita in the title...
What is the world coming to?
I'm worried this may ignite "tantalizing".
Won't anybody think of the children?
I blame Nabokov and Kubrick. The sickos.
