Chief among these is Masaka, who appears to be an Oriental girl in her twenties but may be something entirely else. She has an unsettling way of appearing and disappearing without notice, and bringing particularly odd cases to his attention. Cases he would rather do without. First, he had to prevent the summoning of a demon.

Frequently lensed on limited budgets and tied to a number of genre cliches, these productions occasionally overcame their budgetary limitations to provide distinctly unique images and memorable action. Many infused their suspense with mysterious heroes, improbable creatures, and occasional unexpected musical numbers. Yet, they remain entertaining despite budgetary constraints and the liberal use of cliches and improbabilities. This is an overview of the development of the sub-genre, including reference to many of...
