"Lots of atmosphere, very stylish, and some truly excellent cinematography.
- It reminds me of a high quality table book featuring artistically crafted B&W photography.
Referencing previous work from the director, specifically Onibaba, I’d say this film is more refined/matured.
Honestly, I’m not real big on stories featuring ghosts. But, this isn’t really a “ghost story”... they serve as the vehicle to progress the story’s main theme of judgement and revenge. "
