Searching reviews about this movie and they were quite good, but in my opinion it was a boring movie with a simple storyline.
Special effect are OK not really spectacular!
Some fantasy scene that really are NOT
Talking mouse? Talking dead head? WTF
Ugly demons! REALLY NOT

Only the leaders save the movie!
Kou Shibasaki, one of my favo Japanese female star, from BR & Satoshi Tsumabuki from one of my favo Japanese movie Dragonhead!!
Kou was very funny and Satoshi was really cool!
I like the chemistry between them! Only missing the love LOL ^^
