Viewing Notes

DKUTV programmed this tonight so I decided to give it another spin since I forgot most of it and only recalled it being boring. Yep it’s mostly a slog for much of the runtime until the end. There’s a couple of okay scenes prior to that finale but still not v good.

The best thing here is the groovy 1970s score and the general 1970s aesthetic, which I love of course. It’s cool it was filmed near Mt Fuji in a remote area. And there’s some wild gory moments. Watchable but not a good movie.
