The fourth film in the Yokai Monsters series. It was alright. The best thing about the movie were the monster and yokai designs which were absolutely TOP notch. Overall though the film felt very Spykids inspired. I think kids would like it more than I do, although there are many scenes that they'd probably be terrified at seeing so beware.

I’d still recommend watching Daimajin before this one just to see the objectively better film, but after that you should DEFINITELY track this one down.
