About This Movie

So, 'Mountain Guardians' transports you right into the turmoil of early 20th century China, which is pretty intriguing. The tension between mystical elements and the real threat of invasion adds a unique flavor, you know? You've got this Onmyoji character stirring the pot, trying to mess with Feng Shui, and it all spirals into this battle of wits and magic led by Master Qi and his crew of Taoists.

The practical effects used for the magic are quite striking; it feels tangible rather than overly CGI. The performances have this raw edge, adding to the atmosphere, like you're really in the thick of these ancient mystical practices.
