I will admit up-front that I'm not much a fan of martial art films for the most part and generally avoid them and also know very little history behind the genre. That said, the mix of martial arts and horror had me intrigued. The end result was a film that felt derivative though the horror elements weren't terrible at least. However, the plot made little sense, and I found myself bored more than interested (on the plus side, there is a nifty 1-2 minute long tracking shot during one of the sword fights that was cool). Maybe fans of martial arts will find this entertaining, but I won't ever revisit this one. 2.0/5
