Female Ninjas: Magic Chronicles, Part 1
Samurai lord Toyotomi Hideyori is about to lose his lands, to an assault from his wife’s grandfather, Tokugawa, but he’s not going down without a fight. Or, at least, to continue the battle, he has sex with her multiple female ninja handmaidens, in the hope of having a son who can continue the battle – that’s some long-term thinking, right there. Lady Sen (Shiroshima) is down with her husband’s plan; Tokugawa, not so much. When he finds out about the resulting pregnancies, he dispatches a series of ninjas of his own – men who have, shall we say, a very particular set of skills; skills they have acquired over a very long career – to ensure there’s no live births. Fortunately, the lady ninjas have some unusual abilities of their own, with which they can counterattack: as one of them says, “As ninjas, we’ve been trained to master sexual challenges.” Let battle begin!
This is such an… educational movie. I mean, if your sperm lands on a woman’s skin, she won’t rest until she has had sex with you. Who knew? Maybe it needs to be ninja sperm or something: the film is kinda unclear on the specifics. Meanwhile, on the distaff side, there’s the transference of a fetus from woman to woman as necessary, and most impressively of all, the ability to blow bubbles from your vagina, which send men they contact back to the womb. It’s insane moments like these which keep this marginally watchable, simply on the level of “What the hell will they come up with next?”, and it’s clear this is where the majority of the makers’ imagination and effort went. The rest of the time is filled with soft-core gropings and largely unconvincing fight sequences, when the sexual trickery proves inadequate. Though I did quite like the bit where one ninja’s shadow detaches itself and goes into battle independently.
The actors and actresses involved make absolutely no impression at all, though deserve applause, simply for keeping a straight face while dealing with “female ninja lock magic”, which is exactly what it sounds like, and delivering lines like “Now, I’ll squirt my own seed into your vile body,” without bursting out laughing. I’d be lying if I said this was in the slightest bit “good”, by any conventional measure. But even I have to admit it’s once seen, never forgotten, and so deserves credit above and beyond that given to many, far more forgettable flicks.

Reviews for "Witchcraft and Feminism on Letterboxd: A Progressive Movement"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "The Witch" because I was expecting a lot more from all the hype surrounding it. The story was confusing and slow-paced, and I found myself bored and uninterested throughout. The characters lacked depth and I didn't feel connected to any of them. Overall, I found the film to be pretentious and overrated.
2. Sarah - 1 star - "The Witch" was one of the most frustrating movies I've ever watched. I had high hopes for a thrilling and spine-chilling experience, but instead, I got a slow and confusing film that left me scratching my head. The dialogue was difficult to understand at times, and the story failed to captivate my interest. I found it to be a complete waste of time and would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Mark - 2 stars - I had heard so many good things about "The Witch," but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype for me. The movie is marketed as a horror film, but it lacked any real scares or tension. The pacing was extremely slow, and the story felt disjointed and hard to follow. I struggled to stay engaged and ultimately was left feeling underwhelmed. It's a shame because I had high expectations, but "The Witch" just didn't deliver.
