Marco Castellini
A young tax collector ends up in an unknown forest where he is fascinated by a beautiful girl who is actually the instrument of a demon. The demon is about to take over the young man who is saved at the last moment by a skilled samurai. A stunning photography and a refined direction are the most remarkable elements of this horror-fantasy film. Special effects festival and five awards in five different fantasy film festivals, for this film that skillfully blends various genres. A dreamlike story that, probably, does not suit the taste of the Western viewer but will be appreciated by fans of the genre.
