Reseña destacada
The first in Daiei Film's Yokai Monsters trilogy, 100 Monsters is a bizarre mix of samurai movie and the supernatural, its weird and wonderful monsters (or yokai) based on traditional illustrations from Japanese folklore.
The film sees a ruthless lord and a corrupt magistrate resorting to underhand methods, including murder, to get their hands on some valuable real estate currently occupied by a shrine and tenement buildings, their plan being to tear down the existing structures and build a brothel. Ronin Yasutaro (Jun Fujimaki) stands up to the bad guys, but more unusual help comes in the form of the yokai, ghostly monsters who appear on the scene after the land-hungry villains fail to conduct a curse eliminating ritual after a story-telling ceremony.
Using old-school techniques to bring the fantastical creatures to life (men in manky costumes, some puppetry, and crude animation), the film is unlikely to wow modern viewers with its special effects, but there's an undeniable charm to the lo-fi approach and the sheer silliness of the monster designs is endearing (a long-necked woman, a one-legged umbrella and faceless people). Sadly, there just isn't enough of the yokai throughout the film, the bulk of the movie focusing on Yasutaro's run-ins with the bad guys - routine samurai drama that fails to excite.
5.5/10, rounded up to 6 for the giant slit-mouthed floating head - now that was genuinely creepy!
