How scary is it?
For any parents who saw Chainsaw Man on their local theater listings and are looking to see if it might be a suitable film to take their kids to, you might want to think twice.
The movie is rated R for strong bloody violence, gore, and some nudity. Expect dismemberments, body horror, and a dark tone throughout.
Just Jared Scare Rating: We’d give this one a 6 out of 10.
While the content in Chainsaw Man is definitely mature and often violent, the overall vibe leans more into action-oriented thrills than straightforward chills. There are graphic scenes that might make you recoil, but you won’t find many jump scares or moments like you would from a traditional horror movie.
What is Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc about?
The movie picks up where the first season left off, adapting arcs from Tatsuki Fujimoto‘s original manga. But it has also been described as a relatively self-contained film, meaning newcomers will likely be able to appreciate it.
Chainsaw Man revolves around a young man named Denji who, after a deadly betrayal, merges with a chainsaw-devil named Pochita and becomes the titular “Chainsaw Man,” part human and part devil hybrid.
In the movie, Denji’s life takes a new turn when he meets a mysterious girl named Reze.
The logline reads: “Chainsaw Man faces his deadliest battle yet in a brutal war between devils, hunters and secret enemies.”
The film has received fantastic reviews from critics and fans alike. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is now playing in theaters worldwide.
