Aragami: The Raging God of Battle


Aragami: The Raging God of Battle
2002, 80 minutes
Japanese, English Subtitles
5 Stars

This is basically a dialogue between a wounded 'backwoods' samurai who takes refuge in an old and dark temple, and the man who saves his life. The man who lives in the old, abandoned and very dark temple is really a demon, a war god, who wants only to die, to sleep, and to dream. He heals the samurai, and then challenges him to a duel to the death. The sword fighting is some of the most fun Rainy Day has seen in a while. While the movie is intense, it's also riveting, and Rainy Day is fairly sure the ending will catch you by surprise. Great fun! A great film done entirely in 8 days!
