A
monster from outer space gets a less-than-warm welcome from a band of
ancient warriors in this over-the-top exploitation picture from writer
and director Seiji Chiba. In feudal Japan, a strange flaming object
falls from the sky, and when reports of mysterious deaths follow, three
ninja warriors are sent out to investigate -- brave Yamata (Masanori
Mimoto), stealthy Jinnai (Shuji Kashiwabara) and their silly sidekick
Nezumi (Donpei Tsuchihira). What the ninjas find is outside their
previous experience -- a bloodthirsty creature from another world that
has arrived on Earth and plans to kill everything in its path. However,
the alien didn't count on the tenacity or the fighting skills of the
ninjas, and they set upon the creature with the help of sword-swinging
female ninja Rin (Mika Hijii). Of course, the alien didn't travel alone,
and it isn't long before the warriors are making mincemeat of a whole
platoon of beasts from another ugly world. Alien vs. Ninja received its
world premiere at the 2010 New York Asian Film Festival.
