𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗪𝗠𝗔𝗡? 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡?! 🪚👩🏻‍💼

Our 𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗳𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 is a twisted comedy that is one hell of a 𝗙𝗨𝗡 and 𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗘. With our latest monthly SOMAfeature, we now keep you updated on popular and famous 𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞, 𝙊𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙠𝙪 , 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙖, and 𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙚! ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪

"𝙈𝙖𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙖 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧."

This October, we present 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙂𝙞𝙧𝙡 (片腕マシンガール), a 2008 movie in the sentai/ live-action genre. Joining the ranks of Battle Royale and Tokyo Gore Police in the violence and thriller category, this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat, especially if you're a fan of odd yet darkly humorous Japanese gory films.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭? 🤔💭

The story follows 𝗔𝗺𝗶 𝗛𝘆𝘂𝗴𝗮, a high school girl seeking vengeance after her brother Yuu is murdered by bullies led by Sho Kimura, heir to a ninja-yakuza clan. When the clan captures her and cuts off her left arm, Ami refuses to give up. With help from Takeshi Sugihara’s parents, she forges a machine-gun arm and sets out to destroy those who took everything from her.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐭? 😮📺

This gory action-packed film albeit filled with blood and chaos, delivers a wild mix of action and dark humor through its ridiculous death scenes—where physics practically leaves the room as a shuriken slices a man into pieces. Beneath the carnage lies a surprisingly emotional reflection on grief and family. It also mirrors the brutality of yakuza culture in Japan through Ami’s mission to avenge her brother, highlighting the story’s satirical take on vengeance that blurs the line between justice and insanity.

All in all, whether you’re a gore fan or just curious, be sure to watch 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙂𝙞𝙧𝙡 now—and share your thoughts with us in the comments below! 📝
