Synopsis The tyranical Levih Rah has created the Demon City in Shinjuku. The youg, beautiful Sayaka Rama, whose father has been captured by Rah, enlists the help of Kyoya, a tough Tokyo youth.

Review This movie is also known as "Hell City - Shinjuku", and best known in the fan underground for the visuals which include dream-like sequences and some beautiful character designs. Hero armed with a wooden practice sword takes on a swarm of demons; you got it, the plot is rubbish. And Manga Video have given the Japanese characters a strange mix of international accents.
Interesting but flawed.
