If you loved Hells, try The Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Animation / Fantasy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hells, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe is
A fog-laced shrine in Yagura Village at dusk, incense curling over a child’s abandoned sandal. A father searches for a missing wife while a blood-bank worker arrives to mourn a dead patriarch. At the shrine, the first corpse appears—then the real hunt begins. A ’70s kaiju-horror caper filtered through Studio Ghibli’s mischievous lens.
