This episode has taken it's name and it's main villains from the Lovecraft story with the same name. Though this story bears little resemblance to the original Lovecraft story.

The story is full of blood, to the extent it's almost an exploitation film. The storyline isn't too bad so if you are into horror films and especially gory ones then this is worth watching. The actors are good, and I can't wait to see them in yet another story.

If you are a fan of Lovecraft and read the original stories and expect something similar, then you will get disappointed as this episode is more direct, bloody and not really in the spirit of Lovecraft.

This film is in essence very much like "Dances with wolves" and "Braveheart" mixed together. Also it is very much in the style of Hollywood where political correctness and action sequences are more important than historical facts.

Apart from a beautiful scenery I did not enjoy the film very much, in particular the ending was very poor.

This film is very slow, it's about a disillusioned youth that prowls around killing Yakuza. There isn't really a plot, just critisism of the society that Japanese youth grows up in. There is strong symbolism in the film, but I found it quite hard to understand all the time.

I think there are films who deal with this subject better, never the less the film is worth seeing.
