Review of Kwaidan (1965) by Harry E — 15 Aug 2007
Be patient. This is a film that works its magic on you not so much while you watch it as it does in the days... weeks... months... afterward. Its potency grows as it lingers in your memory. 'Kwaidan' isn't a horror film in the standard sense, but a hauntingly beautiful work of art, with some of the most exquisitely composed images I've seen.
The sequence in which spirits slowly manifest themselves when a boy sings to them is absolutely sublime.
