Darren D @DarrenJD 02/13/2024 Kinji Fukasaku's "Samurai Reincarnation" a violent journey through Japan's dark fantasy of devils, corruption, madness & persecution. Starring Kenji Sawada, Hiroyuki Sanada, & the legendary Sonny Chiba, who is almost in a support role as Kinji Fukasaku focues large parts of the story on the villains, to flesh them out by giving them purpose. Despite Sonny Chiba's lack of screen time, his screen presence owns every scene he's in. See more 08/31/2021 First off, you have to watch the subtitled version of this film to really enjoy it. The dubbed version is absolutely awful. Samurai Reincarnation follows Shogun's Samurai (The Yagyu Clan Conspiracy) in which Sonny Chiba's character Jubei loses his eye. The premise of the movie is based on a the real life crucifixion of Christians in Japan (including Christian samurai). In the film, one of these Christian samurai comes back from the dead after being unjustly killed and brings back to life an army of the dead to fight against Japan and it's powers. Jubei takes on this army of the dead and asks a master sword maker to make him a sword that can kill demons. What follows is the classic line repeated in Kill Bill 2, "If you encounter God, God will be cut." See more 05/23/2021 Severed heads on sticks from the start! A soul sold to Satan for vengeance. The dead are brought back to life. Storming use of lighting and design, the sets are beautiful and detailed. A first half as we do the magnificent 7/Samurai bit as we gather our villains from the dead. Flashback and montage to build the story. Great bits of horror, top flight fight scenes and a little bit of flute.

I'd say it's better than any film that you can see in movie theaters today.
