This is not the ninja movie at all, May 19 2006
This review is from: Pray for Death (Night of the Death Cult, Sisters of Death, Satanic Rites of Dracula, Werewolf and the Vampire) (DVD)
I ordred pray for death, the ninja movie made in 1985 with Sho Kosugi but i receive this 4 horror movie pack. This is quit sad and i add to return it to amazon. The title is wrong and they should change the headline cause people will get confused and order this movie and receive the wrong one.

The Ugly, the Bad, and the Good, Jan 20 2003
This review is from: Pray for Death (Night of the Death Cult, Sisters of Death, Satanic Rites of Dracula, Werewolf and the Vampire) (DVD)
When you buy one of those DVDswhich include several films for acheap price, you often get whatyou pay for; PRAY FOR DEATH is anoutstanding case in point. THE UGLY: One reason why I gotthis one is NIGHT OF THE DEATH CULT, which is the fourth of theBlind Dead series, and I'm sorry to report that the picture qualityis atrocious. It clearly came froma substandard videotape source, and is full of the sort of hideous artifacts that plagued budget VHStapes. Let's hope for a bettercopy of this title someday soon. THE BAD: The prerelease infoindicated that the notorious MARKOF THE DEVIL PART 2 was part ofthis package, but if you orderedit for that reason, you're goingto be bumming, as DEATH CULT is the only announced title which isactually included...come on, guys! THE GOOD: As to the movieswhich ended up being included,THEWEREWOLF VS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN is acampy Paul Naschy vehicle which isentertaining in its goofy fashion.SISTERS OF DEATH features an oddperformance by 1950s Sci-Fi heroArthur Franz as he menaces, amongothers, the ill-fated Playboy model Claudia Jennings...this oneoffers better acting than usuallyseen in such low-budget fare. Andlastly we have the ubiquitousSATANIC RITES OF DRACULA in apretty decent letterbox print. Iguess that Hammer must really notcare about this title, judgingfrom the number of cheap DVDs onwhich it can be found. All threeof this group are watchable, if not exactly DVD demo material. VERDICT: All in all, it's OKfor the price, but I'll be morewary in the future.

For Sho Kosugi fans, this is the WRONG movie, Dec 16 2005
By Wakayuta "Wakayuta 1506" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pray for Death (Night of the Death Cult, Sisters of Death, Satanic Rites of Dracula, Werewolf and the Vampire) (DVD)
This movie is NOT Sho Kosugis 'Pray For Death' Martial Arts action movie. This is a collection of 4 horror flicks and I was disappointed when I recieved this DVD. DO NOT order this item if you are a fan of Sho Kosugi's Ninja movies.
