Mask of the Ninja (2008)
Their vengeance is relentless, their method is ritual, their weapon is
secret, and the motive is in their blood. In a heavily wooded private
estate in the Malibu Hills, towering above the tumbling Pacific,
millionaire CEO Kenji Takeo and his daughter, Miko, prepare for the
arrival from Japan of Takeo’s wife, Kumiko. But the calm of Solstice
Canyon is shattered by a meticulously planned stealth attack on the
Takeo home by a masked band of ninja assassins. In a flash, Takeo’s
guards are killed. The mansion is overtaken, Takeo is killed, and Miko
is left for dead. Arriving at the bloody scene is Detective Jack Barrett
who encounters Miko-the only living witness. In a state of shock, she
repeats only one word like an eerie mantra: kokushibyu. In her native
language, it means Black Death.
