The living Skeleton

Night sea. A single splash. Looters sink a vessel, leaving one woman brutalized and widowed. Years after, her identical twin vanishes into the same criminal underworld, and the guilty begin to turn up as dessicated husks. An obscure, low-budget avenger from the margins of the Japanese horror boom.
