Death Trance is a 2005 Japanese action/fantasy film directed by Yuji Shimomura, the action director for Versus and Devil May Cry 3. It stars Tak Sakaguchi of Versus fame as the anti-hero with co-stars Kentaro Seagal (the son of Steven Seagal in his action film debut) and Takamasa Suga. The film is the directorial debut of Shimomura, and similarities can be seen between it and Ryuhei Kitamura's Versus. Both films, among other things, take place primarily in a forest, both involve a dark sword bearing antihero played by Tak Sakaguchi battling a supernatural being. The soundtrack features songs by the rock band Dir en grey.

Synopsis

In an unknown place and unknown time, a master swordsman by the name of Grave (Tak Sakaguchi) searches for the ultimate battle. After hearing tales of a mysterious coffin kept and guarded at the Tougan Temple he decides to steal it. Legend has it that if taken to a specific spot in the desert, the coffin will grant any man's deepest desire. However, others say that inside the coffin rests the Goddess of Destruction who was banished from Heaven for trying to destroy the world and that releasing her will bring about the Apocalypse. A young monk from the Tougan Temple (Takamasa Suga) is sent to retrieve the coffin and prevent it from being opened. But many other forces are also searching for Grave and his prize (both human and not) and an all-out free-for-all ensues as they all struggle to discover the secret power of the coffin.
