Both films are submerged in mystery around a serial killer. They are both WhoDunIt? suspense mysteries.

Both are about the legendary Hua Mulan.

Psycho dude kidnaps a girl he's obsessed with and keeps her prisoner in his house. Both Japanese. Both crazy af.

Chick is kidnapped by a psycho who is infatuated with her and held captive.

A dude is compelled for various reasons to become a call boy and give pleasure to women.

Similar because of the domestic violence theme. It is on a much smaller scale in Wandering (2022) though.

-Child abandonment
-Precocious boy
-Horrible parents
-Loving siblings

Same exact stories. Kichiku (2017) is a remake of The Demon (1978).

Children are abandoned/neglected by their family. A precocious boy must adapt and learn to survive.

These films remind me of eachother because of the strained but loving relationship between a young boy and his guardian.

Plots are very similar. Violence and school bullying lead one young man to use his smarts to outwit the bullies and get revenge.
