Death Trance (2005)

The director of Versus, Yuji Shimomura, teams with the star of Versus, Tak Sakaguchi, in another supernatural, martial arts adventure. Additional personnel include Steven Seagal’s son, Kentaro Seagal.

Tak, and the young girl that travels with him, steal a coffin from a monastery. The coffin may create its owner anything they desire, or it may unleash the goddess of destruction. As Tak travels through the forest to reach the appropriate spot to open the coffin, he is pursued by a monk with a penis handled sword, and attacked by a range of crazy characters.

Death Trance is easy enough to enjoy, but the story is trite and the action scenes unremarkable.
