If Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky hit the spot, these will too

Both land momentum and ideas at once
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Dread-soaked and unsettling in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft

Science fiction with a pulse of ideas, in both cases
The difference: Goes its own way on the momentum

Both keep coming back to the same thing: held captive

Kinetic action in both cases

Horror built on dread, twice over

Unsettling science fiction, and it commits to that

One thread runs through both: martial arts

Both lean on ideas more than on horror

Same instincts, 29 years apart

Dread-soaked science fiction in both cases

Both lean on unease more than on horror
The difference: Leans further into romance
In the mood for more kinetic?
