A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Hiroki Yamaguchi, and they both carry the unhinged mood tag, and they sit in Action / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bloody Chainsaw Girl, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Bloody Chainsaw Girl Returns: Giko Awakens is

Sakura’s dorm room at 3 a.m. smells of rain-soaked soil and iron. She wakes to her own chainsaw humming on the desk, still slick. Outside, the neighbor’s corpse shambles toward her, stitched together by classmate art. Bloody Chainsaw Girl Returns: Giko Awakens sprays neon like 2004 J-horror on crank.
