Davia D The Beast and the Magic Sword is an overlooked gem that is *only* not a cult classic due to lack of release outside of Spain. It blends western horror movie (with a style not dissimilar to Hammer horror films, with some blood and nudity) with samurai drama very well, with Paul Naschy's Waldemar Daninsky and Shigeru Amachi's Kian effectively serving as co-leads. It has blood, it has werewolf vs samurai, it has werewolf vs an actual tiger. As an older horror movie buff, I found the Beast and the Magic Sword absolutely fantastic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
