A demon-faced monster seeking revenge appears in the forms of a gigantic ox and a huge spider. The young Genji warrior protects the Fujiwara Clan and the beautiful lady in tragic love.
If you're huge into older period/fantasy movies, The Demon of Mount Oe could be a fun diversion from the modern CGI-fests. The story is based around the myths of oni such as Shuten-douji and Tsuchigumo, so we get some samurai vs demon action throughout the film. It's more of a monster fantasy film rather than a jidaigeki-piece, and the dated monster puppets adds to the feel of a staged fairytale.
Famous warriors from Japanese history come together to do battle with evil and the charming, dated effects makes it all the more enjoyable.
Genre: Fantasy/Horror. 1h 54min.
