Possible alien/creature tunnel horror movie

I watched this movie when I was a child (so the movie had to be made at least before 2012), it was on the TV, in color, and in English.
I feel like I remember bits and pieces of the movie, things like; (silver?) creatures or aliens, someone running through a tunnel/underground/ or subway station. There is a scene that I slightly remember where someone opens a door and inside is just filled with the creature/alien, and there is a person being killed by it (or sucked into it). it could have been an alien or a creature that has some type of tentacles. Someone might have also had a baby/child that they were trying to protect at one point.
The visuals were ‘good’ so the movie can’t have been made super long ago.
Tags might be: horror, extraterrestrial, alien, creature…..

80s or earlier samurai series

I remember a Japanese series that was broadcast on a German language TV (SAT1 or RTL most likely) in the mid 80s, but the series was probably older.

 

The story was similar to The count of Monte Cristo in many points, but taking place in feudal Japan. The protagonist is a samurai or a noble who gets betrayed by a number other nobles and exiled (or perhaps imprisoned) on an island. The series follows him after the returns and takes revenge on them. The only detail I remember is that he left a black flower (Orchid? Lotus? …) that only grew on the island he was exiled to as his “calling card”.

I (mis)remember the name of the protagonist as Skinoski or something similar (Shinoshi perhaps?).

The series was subbed in German with Japanese audio.
