Shogun Assassin
“He whips out his sword and relieves his victims of their heads!!”
Action
A Shogun who grew paranoid as he became senile sent his ninjas to kill his samurai. They failed but did kill the samurai’s wife. The samurai swore to avenge the death of his wife and roams the countryside with his toddler son in search of vengeance.
VIBE
A relentless, blood-soaked journey of vengeance. This film is a visceral, stylized descent into a world of honor, betrayal, and brutal combat, driven by a father's grim quest. It’s a raw and unflinching samurai epic.
