IMDb plot summary: Two women are raped and killed by samurai soldiers. Soon they reappear as vengeful ghosts who seduce and brutally murder the passing samurai.
Directed by Kaneto Shindô. Starring Kichiemon Nakamura, Nobuko Otowa, Kei Satô, and Kiwako Taichi.
I should really make it a point to seek out more classic Japanese horror, as I like nearly everything I watch that falls in that genre. This one in particular grabs me because of how it mixes horror with a story about loss and taking revenge against powerful systems. The final seven minutes or so have some very genuinely creepy moments, and there are some truly gorgeous shots throughout. A very satisfying watch!
