Viewing Notes

Film number three. This one is an odd, short anthology of three horror tales with a wraparound involving a Russian cosmonaut who finds a cursed samurai sword on the moon. Yeah, you read that right.

Last night I watched the feature film Monster Heaven: Ghost Hero by the same director and I wonder if it was spun out of story in this anthology. Ghost Hero involves a resurrected evil samurai that is partially thwarted by a yokai punk band.

That sounds better than the anthology!
