I saw this for the first time recently n I am totally surprised at the kind of bizarre stuff shown in this movie.
Without having read the adult novel or the manga series and without having seen its prequel (Horror of the Wolf), I enjoyed this due to Sonny Chiba.
They say its prequel has a transformation scene which is lacking in this one.
We have a detective who is the last surviving werewolf n till the end we r deprived of a transformation scene. Since our detective is played by Sonny Chiba, there is tons of martial arts.
We also have a girl who can kill people by jus thinking about their deaths and that too in a tiger fashion way of ripping the body apart.
Now this is some serious X-woman stuff.
This film has plenty of action, gory deaths, lots of nudity, over the top facial expressions of our dear Chiba n some bizarre stuff.
