If you loved Onmyoji II, try Ashura
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 Onmyoji II, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ashura is
Feudal Japan. Autumn wind. A lone shakuhachi. Kabuki actor Izumo, haunted by his demon-hunter past, falls for Tsubaki, whose body bears harbingers of demonic resurrection. The prophesied queen of demons, Ashura, will soon bring cosmic doom. A prime mid-period fantasy from a director best known for understated dramas.
