dagon256 Wow this movie is great, the very idea of a werewolf samurai is so great, it makes me want to get a US studio to make a werewolf samurai series like this one, but I'm here to review the movie not praise it up its butt, so like my other reviews I going from plot, effects, and finally sound, so here it goes!!!!!!!!!! Plot= OK I will say this the plot is bad, but it does its job.its kind of like a Inuyasha episode only it was made by Quentin Taratino and thats kick all kinds of butt.One thing I will say is that its full of useless filler that could have been cut out for more action scenes but because of its budget it had to, I give the plot a 6 out of 10 not bad but not great.Effects= One of the strengths of this movie is its effects. Its has a power ranger feel because of the cheapness of the monster suits and the fight scenes in said suits. The werewolf suit in this movie is great, Its not too human not to wolf so you get some emotion out of the actor in the suit and that adds a touch of contexts to it. I give the effects 7 out of 10, its good to see the Japanese do what they do best.Sound= one word of this one, bad, its almost nonexistent, but I will say its better then video violence, Nuff said. I give its sound a 3 out of 10, it could better.I with that I proud to rate this movie 7 out of 10, its great to watch with the bros and maybe someone special.

sushikat8 Kibakichi is a werewolf/samurai who has left his destroyed village and ventured into a dangerous village filled creatures, danger and secrets... "A long time ago human and monsters named yokai lived in perfect harmony... but as time went by humans forgot their fears.. and in the fourth year...the government assembled a team to exterminate the yokai.. the weakened yokai escaped, deep into the mountains to escape contact with the human world.. some disguised themselves as women and men to hide.." From the very beginning of this movie you will get a sense of its low budget, and mediocre acting. But for the anime fan, you will almost immediately feel like this is a movie that would be incredible as an anime.. in the first scene you encounter a pretty cheesy fight scene...but the shot of the grass fields and the blood dripping from Kibakichi's sword screamed an anime shot to me! There are plenty more moments in this movie where you will find yourself wanting to giggle at the cheesy shots... But as the movie goes along, I couldn't help but find myself strangely attracted to it. There are some beautiful shots in this film, and an entertaining plot. I found the storyline very unique, and the characters intriguing. It was a fun ride from beginning to end for anyone with a taste for indy-anime-Japanese film lovers.

kevin_s_scrivner I'm not sure what my wife expected when she rented "Kibakichi," but it surely wasn't this odd mix of kung fu, spaghetti western and horror. The film was suspenseful and kept our interest throughout. We weren't distracted by dubbing or special effects. Japanese monsters aren't necessarily supposed to be realistic, and we're used to Asian films where the words don't always match the speaker's mouth movements.The biggest problem I had with the film is the lack of sympathetic characters, including the titular hero. I simply couldn't find anyone to root for. The scriptwriters plainly want the viewer to feel sorry for the Yokai, Japanese mythological monsters. They display commendable family values and have formed a warm, supportive community among themselves. Humans in the film are depicted as cunning, ruthless murderers. Which might have been convincing but for gruesome scenes showing what happens to the monsters' human guests, who are innocent passers-by for all we know. It just doesn't wash.My wife picked this one out because she was tired of Godzilla flicks and didn't want another Japanese monster movie. Boy, was she fooled!

TheOnlyGoodHumanIsADeadHuman Where to end? This movie is kinda woeful, you realise after about 10 mins that they had very little money indeed, what they had they seem to have saved by skimping on actors. The Plot? That doesn't matter in the least. The effects? Very poor. The editing? Not too bad actually and the look of the film is half decent. But none of that's important, none of it, what is important is the dubbed version.Its simply beautiful. Lip sinked by a blind man, scripted by an inbred and performed, by the sound of it, by a motley band of monkeys, castratoes and men who have had all trace of emotion removed from them.High pitched comedy voices and cackling abound. Oh the cackling, must be the only film in history to have its own cackling department. Any old dialogue that sort of fits is used, followed by half a second of their mouths still moving. That's when they don't simply fill the gap with cackling. You may have noted there's a lot of cackling in this movie (to be truthful some of that cackling might be mu ha hah ing or even gaffawing, only the experts from the cackling department would be able to tell us).I suppose the plot should be given a mention. Werewolf samurai, fights monsters, some of those monsters are human. With the usual mix of clans missions etc, it does have spider whores, which can only be a good thing. It moves briskly enough and has enough oddness to entertain.Perfect for a booze and pizza night.
