Viewing Notes
Big blindspot… given that I’ve owned the Blu since the day Criterion released it years ago. And that it’s often considered one of the best classic Japanese horror movies. Anyways, this movie fucking rules. It’s evil spirit revenge folk horror with this weird incest thing happening. THIS is the kind of movie that should be programmed at the 24hr marathons.
