My first exposure to Ikeda was his earlier film “Mermaid Legend”, which I had searched for high & low before finally finding a copy here on RL. It had a very improbable story progression (how unstoppable the protagonist female revenge seeker proves to be, against rather steep odds), with some over the top action and bloodletting for a film of this kind, but her relentless perseverance somehow becomes oddly compelling. I’m glad that you had it, and gave all my searching for this title a positive result.
The brutal insanity of love ain’t an official sequel. They put “3” to make it more commercial.
The first one: More Soavi (Bloody bird) than Argento and Co meets J-horror. 7/10
The second one: Crazier, much more original, some breathtakingly beautiful shots, IMHO vastly superior than the first one. 9/10
A Lot of Thanks!
Thank you for this fantastic trilogy! Been waiting to see part 1 in hd for a while.
added sequels
