Who cares that it's not a "horror" film. It's a genre film that is bloody as hell! 5 skulls!
A film that should be considered a classic in the samuri genre.
Magnificent tale of honor and loyalty and friendship and justice that doesn't disappoint with the slice and dice. Great villain that you want to see get what's coming.

A great samurai tale that puts many of Miike's directorial talents on display. Less nuts than his older stuff, but with plenty of drama and action to fill the runtime.
