A chilling and atmospheric slow burn from Kaneto Shindō, this dark and ghostly nightmare will sink into your subconscious with striking black and white cinematography, a frenetic sensuality, and a viscerally unnerving tone. In the wind-swept marshes of medieval Japan, a land ravaged by war and famine, two women wait for the return of their son and husband from the war as they exist by slaughtering samurai for their belongings. As word of their loved one’s demise in the war, the return of an enticing neighbor, and the mask of a demon threaten to plunge them all into a horrifying fate.
