Editorial Review:
A young boy becomes an unlikely hero when he is chosen as the "Kirin Rider" and must lead Japan's ancient Yokai spirits in their apocalyptic war against the evil monsters. A lavish remake of the 1968 film "Yokai Daisenso" from acclaimed director Takashi Miike (ICHI THE KILLER, AUDITION).

Rating:  - What an escape
I will not waste people's time with a synopsis of the plot. I just wanted to say how happy I was to see the "Yokai Festival." Portraying the Yokai as innocent idiots was well done.
Unlike most zealots in America, I WOULD recommend this to children. Yes, it is intense. Yes, at times it is a little nuts. But its no worse than some of the movies I grew up with and my parents took me to see. Ghostbusters always weirded me out. Would I keep my 8 yr old from seeing it? Hell no!

This is one of my daughters favorite movies, she is 2&1/2. The movie is about a little boy named Tadashi and his adventures with yokai spirits. The movie has a really great underlying lesson to teach youth - that which you waste and how humans damage the environment can affect us later in life, the premise being that the yokai spirits are innocense,youth, and protecting of the earth, and the evil characters (Agi & Lord Kato) to be evil and destructive to the environment and humankind.

Rating: - It a homework movie
I've never seen the English dub but I'm gathering if I saw this as a kid I would have been scared but would have watched it ever weekend afterward. Now that I read, I've watched this movie countless times in Japanese, and honestly some of it only makes sense after I make up a reason for it being that way, but its not the kind of film watched for its Oscar plot but for it story telling and the costumes. I mean japans acclaimed horror director made this children's ghost story Takashi Miike. Director of ... Read More
Rating:  - 3.8 starts good movie....excellent effects...
The english sub-titles are easy to read and do not stop one from enjoying
this fantasy movie. Its like the Neverending Story but with better effects
and characters. Good for multiple viewings.
Rating: - Surreal Fantasy Film By Takashi Miike: Strange, Fun & Weird!
Not your typical Takashi Miike film, but then what is typical of Takashi Miike? You have to hand it to Miike: his cinematic range is far and wide. I bought this film along with "The Bird People Of China," a few weeks ago and viewed both of them on consecutive days. And I liked them both. Yeah, there is a cartoonish feel to the film, but there is also a very strange and weird feel to the film that appealed to me also. [Kids film huh?] The Yokai are based on Japanese folk tales, and the only other one I ever ... Read More
