What's in the black carry bag? Well it's not a musical instrument, nor sports equipment. She's a girl in clogs, hauling a chainsaw who takes pride in her family's wrecking business. Let her show those inherited talents of wielding a chainsaw. Get that saw started. While it might not cut through the top-end of those excessively trendy Japanese splatter films of the same ilk. "BLOODY CHAINSAW GIRL" is amusingly loony SOV nonsense none the same.

While all dressed up (just look at that beast of a chainsaw!), the budget does limited how far it can go. This only highlights the thin, stretched out premise built around striking visual gimmicks (trap-jaw drooling cyborg), a heavy dose of (dodgy) CGI carnage, exaggerated performances and showdowns after showdowns of a delinquent high-school girl (Rio Uchida) and her custom made chainsaw going up against fellow students turned mutant cyborgs by an overzealous student outcast (Mari Yamachi) holding an unknown grudge towards her. All she wants to do is complete her exam, but the school grounds become a battlezone.

The way the narrative is put together is beyond slapdash, sometimes even sputtering along when it slows down for some reflective monologues and character building flashbacks. But that's broken up by its slow-mo duels and tongue-in-cheek approach, as the confident protagonist uncontrollably laughs off everything she encounters. Like the moment where a couple of students come out of nowhere to awkwardly load artillery into the ass of one of these cyborgs that shoots missiles from her vagina. Yeah, that pretty much defines what you're going to get with "BLOODY CHAINSAW GIRL".

High-school rebel Gika uses an over-sized chainsaw to battle with her classmates, who have been turned into bizarre mutant cyborgs by evil school-girl genius Nemo.

If I hadn't already seen the likes of Helldriver, Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, RoboGeisha, Tokyo Gore Police, Deadball, and Machine Girl, I probably would have rated Bloody Chainsaw Girl a tad higher than I actually have. But following in the wake of those films (and many others I haven't even mentioned), this addition to the bonkers new-wave Japanese splatterpunk genre feels very tired, adding little that we haven't seen before in trashy Asian exploitation cinema (most notably, bizarre mutants with weird weaponry, cheesy gore effects, and the occasional up-skirt shot). The film also suffers from an air of cheapness (a shot-on-video aesthetic and weak visual effects) and way too much talking towards the end.

4/10. I'm surprised at how bored I was.

It is a bad movie with bad FX but the story quite silly and funny. If some one with bigger budget this movie should be much better.
