In the Heart Of Darkness Lies a Battle For This World and the Next.

"...a dark, supernatural fairy tale not unlike The Lord Of the Rings." -Chicago Sun Times

During a dark age of demons and ghosts, the Heian Emperor relies upon the imperial order of the Onmyoji to protect the kingdom. However, as the birth of the emperor's heir approaches, political intrigue and jealousy will lead to the most dangerous of betrayals - from within the Onmyoji and the Emperor's family! It will be up to the most talented of the order, Seimei (Mansai Nomura), to face his master, Doson (Hiroyuki Sanada), and the dark magic that threatens to destroy them all!

The mystical perils and dazzling splendor of 10th century Japan vividly come to life in Director Yojiro Takita's spellbinding adaptation of Onmyoji. Mansai Nomura (from Akira Kurosawa's RAN and Japan's most distinguished performer of Kyogen, a classical theater art form) leads a star-studded line up, co-starring Hiroyuki Sanada (from Ringu, Ringu 2, The Last Samurai, and winner of four Japanese film awards), in an amazing fantasy saga packed with a thrilling plot and beautifully choreographed action.
