This film can perfectly be decribed as a combination of Ang Lee's CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON and Sam Raimi's THE EVIL DEAD.  That may seem like a ridiculously odd comparison, but this is a ridiculously odd film.  It is imaginative and fun, for sure, but just as I felt with Raimi's film...the charm of its amateurish feel is simultaneously a huge drawback.   The music is beautiful, and the direction is quite masterful in order to keep things looking otherworldy, without special effects...but the whole thing is just so weird.  hahaha.  I did enjoy it though.
