John Cairn's Fantasia feature, SCHOOLGIRL APOCALYPSE imagines a landscape of savage men, the undead and the girl left to fight them off. Head inside for a batch of stills, and how you can see it immediately following its film fest premiere. 

In the picture, "a Japanese schoolgirl, Sakura, has her idyllic small-town life turned inside-out when the local males start savagely killing the females. Armed with only her kyudo bow for protection and an English textbook for comfort, Sakura journeys through an apocalyptic world of mayhem. As trauma from witnessing the violent deaths of friends and family drives her toward madness, Sakura takes refuge in an animated dream-world where she meets Billy, a character from her English text! Billy helps her survive murderous zombies, as well as an even more formidable foe in Aoi (Tsujimoto), as she races to find real-world Billy and answers to the questions: Why is all this happening? And who or what is behind it?"

SCHOOLGIRL APOCALYPSE sees its Fantasia premiere this Monday, followed by a digital U.S. release the following day. You can win a download code and check the film out for free, right here.
