Viewing Notes

Cracked open my Eclipse Series 37: When Horror Came to Shochiku set cuz I couldn’t wait any longer. Fired up this film first and what a treat. The stark high contrast black & white sets the mood perfectly as well as make for a gorgeous film. Add that Kikko Matsuoka is simply stunning and you’ve got a winner. The story works up until the end but still a wonderful little film.
