In the Sengoku period, a woman and her daughter are raped and murdered by soldiers during a time of civil war. Afterwards, a series of samurai returning from the war through that area are found mysteriously dead with their throats torn out. The governor calls in a wild and fierce young hero to quell what is evidently an Onryō ghost. He encounters the two beautiful women in an eerie, beautiful scene. After spiritual purification, he meets the demon in a thrilling fight.

A perfectly crafted historical, dark fantasy, drama movie. The atmosphere, acting, story are superbly comined in this flawless movie about human nature, war, loss, revenge and love. If you want to see something similar, check out Kwaidan by Masaki Kobayashi, another 10/10 movie.

Excellent ghost story wrapped in feudal Japanese Samouri. Perhaps not as Good as Shindo's 'Onibaba' but not far off - stunning photography again. 7.7/10
