XX: Utsukushiki hyôteki

Drops a point in the score, for me, because inexcusably this turns a bit comic like and therefore loses a little impact towards the end.

Until then however this is some ferocious ride with the SM style action, killings and behaviour we have come to expect from the xx series, as first the police and then two young ladies try to uncover a vicious serial killer and his video camera.

The unlikely heroines, a coroner and a pimp make a super sexy couple as they come together to get their foe.

Lots of split flesh and fetishist goings on make this a non stop treat, until very near the end.
