Extreme plasticine Japanese horror insanity with "Chainsaw Maid"

by Chris MaGee

Here's a viral video that's been burning up the net in the past few weeks, and I thought what better time than now with the Fan Expo/ Rue Morgue Festival of Fear here in Toronto to post "Chainsaw Maid" the most streamlined, violent and funny zombie film you may ever get a chance to see. Oh, and did I mention it's done in claymation? Flashbacks to "Happiness of the Katakuris", huh?

The one thing that kills me about viral videos though is that you get zero information on who made them. I know that this was (supposedly) done by a Japanese college student, "takena", his Youtube channel is here and his website has a few more claymation shorts, but that's all we know. So, Takena, if you're out there give us some more info on yourself and this hilarious film!
