In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Samurai Reincarnation (1981)
A samurai film directed by Kinji Fukasaku, starring Sonny Chiba.
After a failed christian rebellion, the leader comes back to life with the power to resurrect others. He assembles a gang of undead henchmen and the son of the shogun's swordplay teacher must fight them.
The style was really cheesy, which was cool. The primitive CG was entertaining too. There was some good music in the soundtrack, but it mostly got covered up by loud action sequences. The plot was a little murky, but otherwise, it was fine. I'm rating it adequate.
