Viewing Notes

Picked this up when I bought KILLERS for a BOGO half off deal. Arrived sealed and $10 less than Amazon. Saves me from watching 50 ads over the course of 2+ hours on Tubi.

Plus I have a crush on Yuqi Zhang and love Hiroshi Abe in everything he’s in. Fun to see Shota Sometani again after Miike’s lumberjack flick.

This is like many of the Chinese fantasy films I’ve watched this year but with a much bigger budget.
