A veritable horror classic.
Irezumi (1966) review
“Masamura delivers a phenomenal narrative, a true post-war classic.”
Stare (2019) review [Fantasia Film Festival]
“Otsuichi hits all the right notes of the J-horror formula, succeeding in turning his narrative into a truly creepy and unsettling horror narrative.”
