Legend of the Eight Samurai
The demonic Hikita clan rises from the grave in order to fulfill a curse placed upon the Satomi clan by restoring their warlord's face with Princess Shizu's skin. In an attempt to catch her, the clan murders her entire family, but Princess Shizu manages to evade arrest. She enlists eight samurai warriors, possessors of a potent magic crystal, led by Dosetsu (Sonny Chiba!) to assist in rescuing the surviving members of her court and exacting vengeance on her family. Along the route, they must battle undead soldiers, terrible spirits, poisonous beauty, and a colossal centipede.
