One deep, dark night in medieval Japan, a pair of horribly wounded warriors bangs at the door of an eerie, seemingly abandoned fortress hidden high in the mountains. An alluring young woman allows them in, and they promptly fall unconscious to the floor. Later, the younger samurai awakes to find his wounds inexplicably healed and his companion gone. Before him is the master of the fortress, an elegant yet reclusive stranger with a mysterious air. - Asianwiki Edit Translation

Reviews
"There are beings that exist that you can't even imagine."
Much more of a theater play than a film to me, the movie makes a fascinating mixture between esotericism and psychology.Aragami sometimes reminds me of Coppola's film Dracula and sometimes Zeffireli's Hamelet but still, with an unique style od its own, a precise and well thought mise-en-scène and enigmatic acting performances that keep you in suspense !
In a silent and isolated room, a room that resembles a deep and secret thought full of imagination, strangeness, and the unknown, the destinies of a man, a demon and a witch (?) are colliding.
In this same room, the mystery and magic of their world is revealed.
Lurking in the shadows, one of the secrets of the mystery finds the light :
"There are a lot of people who look human but are not ... They are human, yet they are not human."
