If you loved The Shortest Distance Is Round, try Girl Hell

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 Daisuke Yamanouchi, and they both carry the raw mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to The Shortest Distance Is Round, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Girl Hell is

Chiba. Summer. Cicadas. Misaki's days collapse under a cruel father's shadow, tending a sick sister after her mother vanished. School offers zero escape: her best friend sells herself. Only a homeless woman shows her kindness before more violence descends. A J-horror film for those who like it bleak.
