'Youjo Melon' (1987) Dir. Masayuki Kusumi.

Finished with band practice, poodle-haired rocker, 'Jones' excitedly explores his somewhat gloomily desolated locale, fatefully discovering a single melon crate. Eagerly hoping for a fruitful melon feast, in his precipitous haste, Jones inadvertently unleashes the supernatural wrath of luminously sexy witch 'Melon' (Yuki Ninagawa)! Now ominously awakened, Gaijin Jones and his equally ill-prepared band members are inventively dispatched in a pleasing variety of gruesome ways in hard rockin' cult S.O.V shocker 'Youjo Melon'! Nowhere to hide, one-by-one the amiable new wave punkers are sinisterly stalked by the vengeful, ethereally beauteous witch. Sharply paced, and stylishly shot within a doomily atmospheric location, there's nary a dull moment in maestro, Kasumi's brisk, enjoyably kooky kill-fest!! The bellicose outbursts of zesty blood-spillage, righteous tuneage, and an imperiously spooky death-dealing siren, make Masayuki Kasumi's tangy terror titbit 'Youjo Melon' a tasty treat for lovers of far-flung S.O.V horror! 

'This place is like a horror movie! it's just like Guinea Pig!! AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHH!' - Jones.
