When the Raven Flies
Immersing in Vikings and Samurai, I devoured films fast—then hit DVDLady for cult gems like When the Raven Flies. Chaos, grit, and a 22-second English caption lag!

Three Outlaw Samurai is Hideo Gosha’s gritty, no-nonsense debut, blending brutal action with a dark take on samurai honor and rebellion.
Sword of the Beast
