Viewing Notes

Tak directed and is in this movie probably as one of the zombie samurai since he’s none of the primary characters. Not very good on the whole but decent practical FX and a bizarre story. He’s definitely taking a page out of Yudai Yamaguchi‘s book but he needed a little more from Ryuhei Kitamura to punch this up a bit. In better hands this could be another Sharkskin Man and Peach Hip Girl with the horror slant.
