An American boy named Bobby and his friend Akkun set out for the mountains to build a secret hideout. On their way, they stumble upon a mysterious amusement park called “Violence Voyager.” It doesn’t take long for things to get weird, as the boys discover a group of scared children who can’t seem to escape from the park, and soon find themselves under attack by robot-like humanoids. A fine specimen of geki-mation – a unique technique that is based on hand-painted paper cutout – chock-full of references to horror and sci-fi b-movies, and thirsty for blood, human flesh, fire, and action.
