If you loved Ashura, try Onmyoji II

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, slow burn, surreal mood tags, 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 II is

Kyoto, autumn. A kite snaps its tail against a cloudless sky. Nobles vanish one by one, each corpse clawed beyond recognition by something unseen. Yojiro Takita stages horror like Kabuki ghosts, all blood-red silk and whispered curses.
