1h 43min
Original language: Japanese
A mother and daughter-in-law scrape out a feral subsistence in the grassy marshlands of sixteenth-century Japan by robbing and murdering lost samurai. But things take a macabre turn when they come into possession of a demonic mask. Kaneto Shindo transforms an ancient folktale into a bone-chilling erotic ghost story, lent a glacial beauty by the shimmering monochrome cinematography.
