The premise
Two seriously wounded samurai find refuge from a storm at an isolated temple, the home of a swordsman and a mysterious young woman. One samurai awakes to find that not only has his comrade died, but that his wounds have miraculously healed. He discovers that he has been given the power of immortality by the swordsman, a man once known as the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, who now lives an endless existence as Aragami, a "god of battle".
Horror Vault's take
Two battle-worn samurai stumble into a remote mountain temple seeking shelter, only to find that salvation comes at an extraordinary price. One man awakens healed against all reason, and the enigmatic swordsman who saved him reveals a terrifying truth about his own nature — one forged across centuries of bloodshed. What follows is a tightly wound clash between a being beyond death and a mortal warrior tested to his absolute limits. Ancient Japanese myth and visceral swordfight action collide in this intimate, tension-soaked chamber horror.
