Kuroneko (Kaneto Shindo, 1968)


Almost forgot this ghost/cat/samurai/sexy/martial arts movie. Might watch this now in fact...

I put this movie in my netflix cue and hopefully will receive it soon. I hope it's good. The japanese made great ghost/supernatural stories: Kawaidan, Ugetsu, Onibaba. As good as some of the recent crop of J-horror films were, they never quite reached the level of eeriness that the earlier films had.

Happy Hallowe'en Valdemar (Dave)!

Happy Hallowe'en to you, too! I think Kuroneko is very good - it's certainly a visual feast.

A reading by yours truly of one of the all-time classics. I hope you enjoy it!  I'm told my voice sends people to sleep so maybe try it ...
