Onmyôji (2001)
Searched Everywhere To Find This Film Again
The first time I saw this movie I was about 12 or 13 and I absolutely loved it. At the time I was (and still am) very interested in Japanese culture, both past and present... So I was very excited to see this film. It took my until just 5 minutes ago to find this film again!!!
For those who don't watch very many foreign films, it may be a little hard to understand and follow along with the plot, it may not be a brilliant plot, but it is better than a few people have said on here. All in all it is a very interesting film about Japanese occult.
Rating 10/10

Onmyoji 2 (2003)
Not as good as the first, but still a great movie!!
Well, I do have to agree with a lot of people who say Onmyoji 2 is not as good as the first, but it is still a wonderful movie in its own right. While some say the characters in this film, were bland and without development, I have to disagree. First because I know the mythological history of the characters, and I keep myself more open to the characters, especially ones I have no prior knowledge of.
I thought the effects in the end, with the ladder of heaven were not awesome, but pretty good. Better than a lot of other effects I have seen in other period films. Over all, a very good movie!! Highly recommend.
