Viewing Notes
Just got the Blu from Eureka so decided to dig into it. This movie is amazing! The ninja action is pretty batshit and hyper paced, like a combination of the SHINOBI movies and Tsui Hark.
The action scenes are inventive and shockingly bloody and the score is a hybrid between traditional and synth that suits the film well while still feeling alien.
This is for sure a movie night movie!
