The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

47 Ronin (2013)

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ko Shibasaki |
Director: Carl Rinsch

Premise:
A band of exiled samurai seek revenge on the warlord who killed their master with black magic.

My Take:
A land of history, mysticism, and bloodshed is created in this hybrid action-supernatural film. It was better than I anticipated with creatures, demons, and black magic adding to the eeriness. Gore however is at a minimum. The film also looks great. There are worse movies to burn a couple of hours.

Rating: In the middle
