A blood-soaked maid stops a zombie invasion in six minutes of claymation that treats dismemberment like an art form. The contrast hits harder than it has any right to: cute, hand-crafted clay puppets getting shredded in graphic detail, played completely straight. This isn't a joke about the medium. It's a technical showcase that respects both the craft and the carnage.
A blood-drenched woman bursts into a family's home, crying out that something is on its way. The household soon discovers that the threat is zombies, and the master and his young daughter can barely make sense of what is happening. Their best hope turns out to be their maid, who is ready for exactly this kind of disaster. Armed with a chainsaw and startling competence, she takes it upon herself to protect the house from its undead intruders. The result is a single-episode ONA that mixes horror, supernatural thrills and dark comedy, with plenty of gore played for laughs.
