Viewing Notes
An interesting blend of tales within the story involving the yokai and them making appearances in “real life” in the context of the film. The real monsters turn out to be human though. The cinematography and practical effects aren’t nearly as good as the second film though.
Great to see this on Blu-ray! I think the last time I saw this was 20 years ago at a movie night, from Jay’s DVDs.
