I have to agree with the other reviewer. This movie is just awful. I grabbed it thinking it would be at least marginally entertaining, but the plot was just screwy as can be and the whole supernatural angle didn't make sense at all. The 'demons' that you see in the film are laughable at best and there's just no reason for introducing them into the movie. The fight scenes are hesitant and slow, as if noone in the movie knows anything about samurai swordsmanship. The acting is abysmal and the story starts seemingly in the middle of nothingness and ends in nothingness, except with a bunch of people dead we don't care about. Gah, I can't even think about this movie without cringing. Avoid it, unless you're about ready to commit suicide--this one will push you over the edge. (Yes, that was a joke... DON'T commit suicide.)

The movie had the worse plot with cheesey graphics and fight scenes that had no chance of looking half way realistic. We could not figure the point to this movie even after the end credits were rolling but we laughed all the way thru this to keep from destroying the tv. The only good thing about this movie was the title and the names of the characters supposze to be in the movie. If not for the semi rape scenes we would have completely hated this movie. We guessed that was the only way to show women parts but please don't let that be a reason to waste your time or money on this collection.

I just finished watching the first 30 minutes of this movie, and had to turn it off. I simply could not watch 1 more minute of this so called movie. The story was horrible, the acting was horrible, the camera work was horrible, the fight scenes horrible, and the special effects...hmm...HORRIBLE!

Please don't waste your time with this one, you'll be sorry if you do.

This is THE WORST Japanese film I've ever seen. Bad script, bad plot, bad acting, and stupid special effects! Why waste our time by importing aweful films like this, when there are hundreds of GOOD films that haven't even been made available with English subtitles?

About the title:

KUNOICHI: Write out hiragana KU, katakana NO, and kanji ICHI, with the characters overlayed, and you end up with ONNA, the kanji for "female."

Deadly Mirage: The Mirage is that this film might be entertaining, and the danger being how close you come to wanting to commit ritual suicide while watching.
