Samurai Reincarnation (1981)

In the shadowy aftermath of a brutal massacre, a samurai named Amakusa Shiro Tokaisada, once a devout Christian, forsakes his faith, accusing the divine of callous indifference. The agony of witnessing his fellow believers' demise 350 years ago drives him into the nefarious clutches of Satan, trading his soul for an unholy power—the ability to breathe life into the lifeless. Now known as Shito, his unhallowed resurrection parade includes a wronged woman seeking vengeance on her cruel spouse, two rival swordsmen gripped by an insatiable thirst to demonstrate their prowess, and a young man, tormented by unrequited love. Shito, the puppet master of this macabre orchestra, orchestrates a symphony of terror, striking fear in the hearts of those defenseless against the supernatural onslaught. As these restless spirits wreak havoc, hope rests on the shoulders of Jubei, the son of one of the resurrected swordsmen. Driven by an inherited sense of duty, he embarks on a quest to find a legendary swordsmith, whose mystical weapons hold the promise of laying these restless souls to eternal rest. As the tale unfolds, the stage is set for a series of showdowns, each more intense than the last. A thrilling saga inspired by real-life samurai lore and a catalyst for the critically acclaimed game 'Samurai Shodown', this film is a chilling exploration of vengeance, redemption, and the blurring lines between good and evil. "Samurai Reincarnation" will have you on the edge of your seat, marvelling at the spectacle of one man's fight against the undead.
