April Film: The Sword of Doom (1966)
A skilled but morally corrupt swordsman becomes consumed by violence and paranoia. His descent into madness contrasts sharply with the honor and restraint of other samurai. This film explores the corrupting power of unchecked violence and the devastating consequence of a life devoid of honor, delivering a dark and gripping samurai epic.
Directed by Kihachi Okamoto. Run time: 2 hrs. Content warning: samurai violence, blood, injury detail, off-screen sexual assault and brief nudity. Not rated.
