Review of Samurai Avenger: The Blind Wolf (2009) by Adam E — 29 May 2011
An amazing mix of so many different genres all crammed together in a cheesey naughty delight! Theres grindhouse elements mixed with the story of ricky and shogun assassin as well as dollops of sereio leone (sorry for the poor spelling of a legends name!).
A simple plot of revenge plays a lot like ninja scroll with the blind samurai having to fight 7 increasingly bizzare and awesome looking villains until the final showdown. Theres pregnant zombie raising witchs, boob hypnotising knives women, bikini samurai and so much more.
Did I mention theres oodles of blood? seriously its like lone wolf and cub all over again. no one dies in this film with out peeing 7 gallons of the red stuff every where. And you know what its a better film for it :D Its silly silly fun and the film makers are obviously fans of pretty much everything and they cram it all in but it all works and sticks amazingly well.
Its well shot to and the central characters all play there roles either tongue in cheekly or bang on serious and each performance works. There is promise of a sequal and I for one cannot wait! great gorey stuff :).
