Plot summary


All countries have their perennial movie subjects,and Japan has had no less than three movie adaptations
of the immensely popular pulp-fantasy novel Makai Tensho(known variously in English as Samurai Reincarnation,
Samurai Resurrection, or Darkside Reborn). The first one, a Japanese pop-culture staple, starred the inimitable
Sonny Chiba and was directed by Kinji(Battle Royale) Fukasaku; the second one was a dreadful direct-to-video
product that wasnt even worth slamming. This version, released in 2003 under the banner of the Kadokawa
media empire, isnt quite as gleefully wild as the first but it sports better graphics and is still fairly fun to watch.

Makai Tensho takes inspiration from an actual historical personage, Christian rebel Amakusa Shiro Tokusada
(Yōsuke Kubozuka, of Ping Pong), who stood off against the Shogunate in 1638 along with his army of thousands
of loyalists. The movie opens with the final siege against his stronghold in progress, a massive battle scene with
hundreds of extras and full-scale sets thats over way too soon. Shiro is beheaded by his enemies, but not before
making a pact with the underworld to rise again as a demonic incarnation of revenge. With him come several
other figures from Japanese history, including another Christian martyr, the Lady Hosokawa(Clara Oshina), whose
seductiveness takes over where Shiro’s powers to raise the dead leave off.

And raise the dead he does. As in the original film, he digs into the underworld and comes up with a few key
undead allies, among them none other than famed swordsman Miyamoto Musashi(Kyozo Nagatsuka), and warrior-monk
Hozoin Inshun(Arata Furuta of Zebraman). Their “rebirth from hell” has given them supernatural strength, and they
have a nasty tendency to not die when you skewer them in the stomach or hack off their arms. The only one who
stands in their way is ninja leader Yagyu Jubei(Koichi Sato of When the Last Sword is Drawn), complete with furry
topknot but without his signature missing eye, at least at first. Even worse, his own father, a key figure in the
Shogunate, is eventually turned into part of Shiro’s army and sent after his son.
