Ghost story about betrayal
6 February 2021
Seki and her lover Toyoji decide to devise a plan to get rid of Gisaburo, Seki's husband, in order to be together.

A good old Japanese horror classic from the late 70s, about betrayal and revenge.

Asian cinema is full of gems of this kind, a calculated, psychological terror and with the right dose of drama.

Here, the supernatural figure is an allegory to the feeling of guilt and remorse, which consumes and destroys the human kind.

The story isn't rich in content and doesn't have a complex plot, nothing really happens besides focusing on the two main characters and the criminal act they committed, but that is enough to make it interesting.

The cinematography is good, as well as the sets, which makes a tense and enveloping atmosphere and mood.
