Synopsis

During the Sengoku period, a woman and her daughter are raped and murdered by soldiers amid the chaos of civil war. In the aftermath, a number of samurai returning from battle through the region are found dead under mysterious circumstances, each with their throats torn out. Concerned by the growing unrest, the local governor summons a wild and fierce young hero to investigate and confront what appears to be an Onryō, a vengeful spirit.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
