Summary: Akira Kurosawa Meets 'HR Pufnstuf'
Review: If you like samurai movies, ghost stories, and Sid and Marty Krofft, this is the movie for you. Third in the 'Yokai Monsters' series, this is a Meiji period piece with an edge. Surprisingly excellent plot, and a very cool performance by Kojiro Hongo (the guy from all the Gamera movies) in his Late Elvis phase. Add a cute kid looking for her dad, and you are in for 80+ minutes of strange cinema -- think Stephen King re-writing Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai'.Odd! Even!!
