Review of Kwaidan (1965) by Ryan S — 15 Mar 2008
If you believe the Japanese only started making ghost movies with Ringu, think again, and then take a look at this foursome of tales to make your hair stand on end and your flesh creep. Each story stands alone in its spookiness.
My favorite is the first -- "Black Hair", in which a man divorces his wife for a younger, richer woman. When he realizes his mistake and returns to the first wife, he slowly discovers that..
.haha. You'll have to watch for yourself. But all the stories are good in their own right. And the film looks great -- filmed completely on a soundstage, many of the scenes look like paintings come to life.
A good film for those who enjoy art films, but also like to have the bejeebers scared out of them every so often.
