Review of Vampire Island (2009) by Tim M — 02 Sep 2013
Higan takes place at the equinoxes, it is a time to pay respects to the dead. It means "other shore", basically the afterlife. Because red spider lilies bloom during the equinox, they also called "higan" and are commonly used at funerals.
It is believed that these flowers bloom in hell and lead ghosts to their next rebirth. Points for niche quality, there aren't many vampire chanbara flicks. Despite the low budget and being too long, this is a decent live-action manga adaptation.
