The plot is simple: greedy, selfish humans disturb the dead by stealing something that belongs to them. The undead mummies, who are the most sympathetic characters in the entire film, try to get back what is stolen from them.
Also, a backstory that you don't care about, and a plot twist you won't forget.
Squeamish viewers will dismiss this film as being just another 'trashy' J-Horror flick. What with its shock value, over-the-top violence, fetish exploitation, unlikable characters doing unlikable things, and frequent fades-to-black.
Cultured people, like ourselves, would simply call this film "horror".
Not only would we call this 'horror', we would call it that rare monster slasher film made for people who love to root for the monsters.
In western horror films, you want our human characters to defeat the unstoppable supernatural serial killers to earn their happy ending. Yet, either said characters can come across as so unlikeable that you end up rooting for the monsters, or the monsters are so overpowered that they effortlessly win in the end regardless of what the protagonists do. All of this during an unrelentingly dark storyline that leaves the viewer apathetic to what happens.
The hilarious and heart-warming relationship between the two zombie girls provide a sense of emotional depth that so many other Japanese horror works have tried, and failed, to accomplish. By making the true antagonists unlikeable, and the monster protagonists vulnerable, "Calamity of a Zombie Girl" provides a breath of fresh air to the usual template of Japanese horror.
