Brace yourself for a double dose of low-budget Japanese bedlam set in a post-apocalyptic future.

The first of these violent revenge tales sees anti-heroine Milly, (A Slit-Mouthed Woman’s Miki Mizuno) cutting up  gang members in retribution for the murder of her husband and child in  an attack that left her hideously disfigured.

Rebuilt as a killing machine hell-bent on getting her own back, she kicks ass around town. Clocking in  at a compact 45 minutes, the film  is half backstory, half climactic showdown; working fine as a film in  its own right, while presenting the possibility of untold sequels.

A year after it was made, director Takanori Tsujimoto picked up where  he left off for a second installment in which Milly trains  a young hottie who wants to bring her brother’s killer to justice. At the same time, Milly’s being tracked down for slaying a gay psycho’s gang leader.

Neither flick is as way-out wacky  as other extreme Japanese horrors that’ve come out over the past couple of years, but with Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl’s Yoshihiro Nishimura supplying the  make-up, the look is cartoonishly outrageous.

The breathtakingly choreographed fight scenes are packed with bodies being sliced, diced and carved up in a shower of arterial spray and human offal.

It’s recommended viewing for those who don’t care if a film’s short on plot, as long as it plays like a helter-skelter ride at an abattoir.
