Not many people have heard of this Japanese film, but if You can give it a look. While their son/Husband is off fighting in Japanese Civil Wars (think it takes place in the 1600's) His Mother/Wife survive by killing wounded Samaurai, dropping their corpses in a deep hole and selling the armor. Trouble begins to ensue with the return of a neighbor who knew the son...
Extremely well shot-love those shots of high blowing grass-, quite erotic and very grim with a high sense of unease. I first heard of this in CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN interview with William Friedkin-coming off THE EXORCIST- who described it as "...terrifying. It is the most terrifying film I have ever seen" and when I got to see it some 20 years later, wouldn't describe it as that, but it's pretty damn creepy and I would recommend this heartily. ****1/2
