Ghost Of Tsushima: 10 Samurai Films You MUST Watch After Finishing The Story
7. Blade Of The Immortal (2017)
Blade of the Immortal is a film that uses source material from a quality and incredibly dark manga.
Directed by genre chameleon Takashi Miike, this film showcases the value of underhanded tactics alongside grim narrative beats that are full of betrayal and heartbreak. On top of that, the lead character (Manji) is essentially a samurai version of Wolverine - and he is just as nihilistic and cool as the Marvel character.
This film is a perfect watch for players who enjoyed the elements of Ghost of Tsushima that deviated from traditional samurai codes of conduct. Furthermore, for players who really want to delve into the blood, gore, and the kind of moral waters that are so murky they are impossible to see through, this film supplies that with gusto.
This is not the only film by Takashi Miike on this list, and it is clear that the director has a flair for the dramatic. For many players who have enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima, this film will be a welcome introduction to a darker samurai world.
