If you loved Ashura, try Onmyoji

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Yojiro Takita, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Action / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ashura, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Onmyoji is

Kyoto, 1003 AD. Cherry blossom petals on a bloodied imperial sword. Court mages struggle to contain restless demons, as a once-loyal apprentice confronts his former master's treason. A pre-samurai occult actioner for fans of *Kwaidan*.
