Review of Onibaba (1964) by Jared C — 09 May 2009
A parable of purgatory. Two women, isolated, living in the tall grass of old Japan. They kill samourai and hawk their gear to a local sage who lives in a cave. There is a hole in the ground, seemingly endless, where they drop the bodies.
This is where the dead go to die. And then a man comes, and with the man comes fear, jelousy, lust, greed, and then of course, the mask. This might be the most profound of any horror film I have seen.
