The movie
The day of her 16th birthday, Rin discovers that her arm is turning into a sharp razor. Strange? Not really, considering that her dad is a mutant! She barely has the time to digest this deeply distressing news when her family is massacred right before her eyes by a governmental organization. The young girl manages to escape thanks to the assistance of another mutant, Hiruko. Through him, she joins a diverse female squad and begins an arduous training to fight against those who want to exterminate them. It took no less than three of some of the best Japanese directors to concoct the sketch for this outlandish film à la X-Men. The result is certainly worth its weight in violence, gore, and freakishness.
