First off, we have the story which has a war-hardened general, egged on by his ambitious wife, works to fulfill a prophecy that he would become lord of Spider's Web Castle. I thought the story was very entertaining to see how Kurosawa would adapt the story of Macbeth by Shakespeare. 

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought in terms of acting were great with Toshiro Mifune being an obvious standout with his version as Macbeth. The rest of the cast also did a good job with their versions of the characters from the story. 

As for the film's visuals, I thought the cinematography was fantastic especially some of the designs for the locations which give the film a mystifying atmosphere and presence. Moving onto the tone of the film which was very striking with the way the story was presented and how the supernatural elements were handled. I thought the soundtrack of the film was great with the way it used the tracks to create a haunting feel especially as the story progressed.

I give Throne Of Blood a score of 9/10
