If you loved Lullaby to Kill, try Murder of the Inugami Clan

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

Both films are directed by Kon Ichikawa, and they both carry the paranoid mood tag, and they sit in Horror / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lullaby to Kill, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Murder of the Inugami Clan is

A frozen winters’ night on the Inugami estate, a single lantern swings above the will.

Detective Kindaichi senses the quiet unspooling before steel meets silk.
