<p>Arriving several decades before the rise of J-horror, Japanese filmmaker Noriaki Yuasa (GAMERA) delivers what was ostensibly a children’s film about a young woman arriving at her estranged family’s estate, only to discover sinister secrets lurking within – he then decided his goal was to traumatize his child audience forever. Mirroring many trends popular in European horror at the time, and anticipating the work of Brian De Palma in spots, this 1968 chiller remains a standout of Japan’s steadfast commitment to crafting superb tales of cinematic horror.</p> <p><em>Restoration courtesy Arrow Films and the American Genre Film Archive</em></p>
