With 'Spectral Vengeance: Shogun's Shadow,' the gears of imagination and bizarro casting churn to produce a spectacle that defies convention, as though someone threw a haiku into a furnace and it exploded into a symphony of cogs and kimono-clad vengeance. Eel-thel Berry-more delivers Akari with a stealthy grace that's as smooth as the film’s CGI specters, while Kevin Jambalaya’s inventing antics install a dose of levity tighter than a corset in this steampunky narrative. Angelina Jelly's mystical enchantress is nothing short of ethereal chaos in a bottle, which I’d wager is the ‘steam’ this revenge-filled pot is simmering on. Kudos to Brian De Palmadillo for orchestrating a world where spirits intermingle with sprockets, reminding us that even in the zaniest of realities, the tick tock of a vengeful heart is the most haunting sound of all. In short, 'Shogun's Shadow' is the cinematic contraption that somewhat thrillingly reads like Jules Verne and Miyazaki hazily dreaming together after a cheeky night out.
