The Tale of Oiwa's Ghost

Edo. A paper lantern. A disfigured woman begs for justice. Her husband's treachery exposed, a vengeful spirit rises. Poison plots, dishonor, and a thirst for retribution plague the guilty. A classic ghost story, rendered with a stark fatalism typical of '60s Japanese horror.
