There are strange things in this world that are beyond our understanding
A landowner wants to tear down a tenement house, as well as its shrine, to build a brothel.
He hosts a parlor game where the group tells 100 supernatural stories about legends or personal encounters.
At the end, he’s supposed to perform a cleansing ritual. But the landowner sees it as feeble superstition and refuses. Instead, he gives everyone good luck tokens — piles of cash.
As a result, he leaves the door open for the spirits evoked in the stories to reap revenge.
I like the tone of this one a bit more than in Spook Warfare. It’s more serious, but the story is more coherent, and the cinematography is excellent.
I love all of the Yokai designs so much. If a bunch of fellas who looked like that showed up at my place, I would freak the fuck out!
I love how the umbrella yokai is just a boy who wants to chill and get whacky.
The fight choreography is weak, and the story lags in places. But this was so much fun!
