Professional Review of "Sakuya - The Slayer of Demons"
This professional review refers to Sakuya - The Slayer of Demons
|
Tomo Haraguchi is best known for his monster movie series. In fact, he started his career as a special make-up artist. Sakuya - The Slayer of Demon provides an excellent opportunity for him to experiment with this genre freely and explore its massive possibilities at will. The plot of the film is quite simple. Sakuya (Nozomi Ando) is the young daughter of a Samurai. She accepts a mission to travel to Mt. Fuji and annihilate the evil monsters there. Each of the monsters Sakuya fights is unique and powerful. At the end, she has to face a demon queen (Keiko Matsusaka). This is an entertaining and hilarious film. Lots of traditonal Japanese monsters appear in the film. For example, there are 3-eyed monsters, umbrella demons, etc., all of them are reproduced vividly. The visual and costume designs of the film are done nicely. They capture the viewers' eyes successfully. The cinematic style is cartoon-like, with decent and sophisticated special effects. The plot itself is quite straightforward and direct, do not expect any surprising twist and you will be able to enjoy it more. The story of the film is quite simple actually. Although it is trying to point out the difference between human being and monster, and the possibility of their coexistence, the major emphasis of the film is the action and adventure of Sakuya. It only touches the edge of the coexistence possibility issue briefly. Perhaps the target audience of the film is kids, it seems that it is not worth to spend too much time on the study of its theoretical implication. Therefore, a piece of advice from the writer is: Take it easy, just sit back, relax and enjoy the action! The problem of the film is that the story is too simple and it is presented in a way, which is too linear. It lacks intensity and climax at all. Since we can always predict what is going to happen in the next scene, the appetite is greatly reduced. From the happy ending, it is obvious that this film is capable of expanding into a saga or film series. The Cantonese version is done poorly for this film. Although it introduces an all star cast to do the dubbing, it seems that they all lack relevant experience in this field. For instance, Anita Mui is a good singer, but absolutely not good at dubbing, and her character ends up with a dull voice. The result of the inexperienced dubbing cast is that the characters in the film are ruined by the poor dubbing voices. VCD (HK version) - I got the VCD from a friend, and was forced to watch the dubbed version. The only thing I can say is, stay away from this version! If you want to see this film, get the original version! Reviewed by: Kantorates |

| This movie I was afraid it was going to be cheesy,but it is done verry well with great special effects.This is Demons Vs Ninja type movie.This movie is worth seeing if your looking for action,but the monsters are not scary but the action makes up for it.has the making of a high budget fulm. |

This customer review refers to Sakuya - The Slayer of Demons
| Entertaining monster movie about the young samurai girl Sakuya, who battles demons with her magical sword, aided in her quest by two ninjas and her adopted brother Taro, himself a kappa demon, whose father was killed by Sakuya. Among the creatures they encounter is an evil pupeteer (who turns girls into dolls)and a two-tailed cat demon( my favorite! ), but the worst is still to come in the form of the demon boss, a giant spider woman... Nozomi Ando is great as Sakuya ( and cute ! ). Quite moving is Taro´s conflict- a demon whose father was killed by the only human who loves him. Special effects are very impressive, especially in the final fight, which is quite akin to Godzilla movies. No complaints about Universe´s DVD aside from the lack of the original Japanese audio track. Extras are limited to the film´s trailer, but more importantly the print is widescreen. Great fun! Order immediately! |
