With a title like Ninja vs Shark you might think this is anotherMark Poloniafilm along the lines ofSharkulaor Shark Encounters of the Third Kind. Or maybe one of the more bizarre Chinese kaiju films such asLand Shark.But you’d be wrong, it’s actually a Japanese film written by Junichiro Ashiki and directed by Kôichi Sakamoto.
During Japan’s Edo Period,Sayo,a pearl diver from the village of Okitsu, swims back to shore only to find the remains of one of her fellow divers washed up on the beach. This has been happening a lot since Lord Koshiro Mizuchi of the Crimson Devil Clan demanded the villagers hand over their pearls to him. When they refused he used sorcery to turn the sharks into living weapons.
