Synopsis: Kore and the Killer is the story of a unique crime-fighting super hero.
By day she is Corey, a carefree girl who happens to work at a bubble-tea shop; by night she is The Kore, a vigilante goddess cleansing the L.A. streets of it’s worst human predators. The catch? Neither side knows about the other.
All is well until a Young Man enters the picture. At first Corey wants nothing to do with him, perhaps sensing subconsciously that getting involved will upset her delicate balance. Nevertheless, there is something about him she can’t resist, and they fall into a friendship that will lead to romance.
Meanwhile, the mysterious White Crane Corporation has been hunting The Kore. Their goal—to turn her into a human statue for the perverse satisfaction of the billionaire Otaku. As daytime Corey takes the plunge, allowing herself to be kissed for the very first time, her nighttime alter-ego is discovered by Hitoshi, the peerless henchman of the evil Otaku.
Things start getting complicated for both alter-egos— Corey’s newfound love stirring up troubling, lost memories as Otaku’s net tightens. Things finally come to a boil when The Kore emerges at an inopportune moment and nearly kills the Young Man, prompting the distraught Corey to flee and fall into Otaku’s clutches.
Everything has been leading to an action-packed finale, and the last act of the film delivers with a seat-gripping martial arts extravaganza. It’s not just ninjas, assassins and a pair of psychotic, teenage twin girls she must face; in order to survive her ordeal, she must also come to terms with her past. And that’s the most difficult battle.
