If you loved The Tale of Oiwa's Ghost, try I, the Executioner
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Tai Katō, and they both carry the dread, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Tale of Oiwa's Ghost, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What I, the Executioner is
Kyoto, late autumn, a dripping faucet. Detectives trace a string of ritualistic murders, each echoing the suicide of a bullied schoolboy. Kato applies a procedural chill to the pinku eiga playbook.
