This Sonny Chiba flic finds our star playing Inugami, an investigative journalist who also happens to be the last living member of a clan of werewolves.
Director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi serves us yakuza gangs, shady government organisations, cursed singers and and gore by the bucket as victims are ripped apart by invisible tigers in what he police label 'spectral deaths'.
Disappointingly we never see Chiba as a werewolf but do get to witness his super strength and healing powers alongside his usual fighting prowess.
It's not a great film by any measure but is a diverting 90 minutes and an interesting curio in Chiba's body of work.
