| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonDirector Kevin Connor initially establishes a flavorful mood, but it gets frittered away thanks to some increasingly silly sequences and the general doltishness of the lead characters. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergProduced in the early 1980s by a Japanese production company, yet written, directed by, and starring tons of Americans, THWED is, well, it's really quite stupid is what it is. |
| User ReviewLaurent B"There's a face in soup!"-Amy Fletcher (Amy Barrett) I must say, I had a hearty laugh at the soup bowl scene. |
| User ReviewGordon THIGHLANDER-type deal where Ancient Samurai Ghosts possess a lovers' triangle of Young Urban Professionals (yuppies) and they gorily fight to the death. It was on HBO 27 years ago, I've never forgotten it. Its not absolutely awesome though. (but worth a viewing) |
| User ReviewAnna NThe giant spiders well shit me up, now its just great as a cheesy horror. And Doug McClure too! How they spoil us |
| User ReviewJason MThis isn't scary, it's fairly illogical (which is saying a lot for a movie with Japanese ghosts) and the acting is awful. The only plus is a ton of naked Susan George and a ghost karate/sword fight. |
| User ReviewBrody MNot to bad but not to good either.Something to watch |
| User ReviewAj VThis could have been a good horror movie, if only it weren't so slow and boring. |
| User ReviewHolly FThis was ok i suppose could have been better though. |
| User ReviewJason Tif you like Tom Selleck lookalikes and karate ghosts, this movie is for you. |
