Member Rating:  
A young slacker discovers his true purpose in life after falling in love with a knife-wielding beauty locked in an eternal battle against a menacing giant with a chainsaw for a hand director Takuji Kitamura's adaptation of author Tatsuhiko Takimoto popular cult novel. Ever since his best friend died one year ago, Yosuke has been sleepwalking his way through life. It's not that Yosuke lacks intelligence; he just doesn't really see the point in living when life can be taken in the blink of an eye. One night, while wandering the darkened city streets, the depressive Yosuke happens across mournful young beauty Eri. Eri, too, is nursing a painful loss, though she has precious little time to grieve thanks to the menacing giant who falls from the sky determined to carve her up with his enormous chainsaw-hand. It's evident from Eri's arsenal of hidden blades that this is a fairly regular occurrence, and though it's plain to see that she's fully capable of handling the task at hand, Yosuke still can't resist the urge to come to her aid. In helping Eri, Yosuke has finally found something to live for, but why does Eri have to fight in the first place, anyway? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    If the people responsible for after school specials made a fantasy film, it might look like this movie. Despite what the movie's title and DVD cover imply, this is not a horror film, nor an action film. The acting, directing and writing were sophomoric. On a positive note, the special effects were very good and at times had a 3D effect. The target demographic is probably the female teeny bopper group due to the themes of teen love, loss and the pondering of whether happiness can be found. The 5.1 Surround Sound audio option made good, but infrequent use of surround sound. As for extras, there's a trailer for the movie and a "Behind the Scenes with Oresama" featurette (11:17 min). Lightly recommended.
