If you loved Onibaba, try Kuroneko

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 Kaneto Shindō, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Onibaba, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kuroneko is

Moonlit mountain pass winter snow crunching under horse hooves a lone samurai helmet. A woman and daughter brutally slain by soldiers their bodies left in a burned-out hut. Kaneto Shindō brings feudal Japan horror in a single eerie scene.
