My Thoughts:
I have now watched all the movies in the Val Lewton Horror Collection (except for the 2 documentaries which I am not in much of a hurry to watch). I usually have a bit of a problem with many period pieces. And I must admit the period this movie is set in did set me off a bit. I really had a hard time keeping my attention on this movie. By the time I got half way into the movie I felt that this is the first movie in this collection I really don't care for. Sure it had a decent scene or two but not much more then that. Then I got to about the last 20 to 30 minutes of the movie. Here it picked up some more for me. It somewhat kept my interest at this point. But still this movie turned out to be my least favorite of the set.

       After the financial and critical success of YojimboYojimbo. By making these changes, mindset in the film, is replaced with a kill at all cost cynicism in the screenplay of Yojimbo is in a class of its own. If Yojimbo had never been made, would stand alone as a respected chanbara is a non-stop thrill ride for anyone who enjoys a good samurai story overflowing with believable action.
