Throne of Blood started out as an interesting movie and kept me engaged most of the movie. I got confused at one point right after the first Great Lord was killed. I couldn't tell whether the people knew that the guy killed him or not, but I later figured out that most people knew what was going on. This movie reminded me of Oedipus from how the two main characters learned of a prophecy and didn't believe it, but in the end it all turns out to be true.
There was only a couple of things that I didn't like. That women was very frustrating. She was screwing that guy's life up and he kept listening to her crazy butt. I guess she learned her lesson when the blood wouldn't wash off. The other was that it seemed to get drown out longer than it needed to be. If this movie had condensed some parts it would have felt more fulfilling. I recommend more samurai and crazy ghost movies for the Japanese Film Festival.
