The Scissors Massacre

The Scissors Massacre (2008) — watch online on iFILM — is a Japanese horror sequel from director Kōtarō Terauchi, the second film in the Kuchisake-onna franchise. Mayu, a high school sprinter in rural Gifu, has her life destroyed when her sister's obsessed ex-boyfriend pours acid on her face.

What follows splits the film in two directions. The three Sawada sisters struggle to hold their family together as Mayu retreats deeper into herself. At the same time, former students from her school start turning up dead, and the town can't agree on what is hunting them. More atmosphere than gore — closer to the slow-burn J-horror tradition than anything you'd call a slasher. Stream The Scissors Massacre online on iFILM.
