Tortured by visions of the battle at the rocky isthmus of Amakusa, swordsman Yagyuu Juubee returns to his ancestral home seeking respite from the bloody duties of a feudal retainer. Life in the village possesses a serenity ill-befitting days of armed rebellion and unholy alliance. For Juubee, the tranquility is far too transparent, and soon chilling rumors reach him: four dead heroes renew their claim to life, feeding on the fear and violence of the age. Forced to take up the sword once more, Juubee returns to the path of vengeance and damnation. Source: US DVD cover
