A HORROR FAVORITE OF BOTH HIDEO KOJIMA & GUILLERMO DEL TORO -- DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP IN OCTOBER.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on "Onibaba" (lit. "Demon hag"), also titledĀ "The Hole," a 1964 JapaneseĀ historical dramaĀ andĀ horror filmĀ written and directed byĀ Kaneto ShindÅ. The film was re-released on Blu-ray by the Criterion Collection as Spine #226 using the DVD master on October 5, 2021.
OVERVIEW: "Deep in the windswept marshes of war-torn medieval Japan, an impoverished older woman and her daughter-in-law murder lost samurai and sell their belongings for the most meager of sustenance. When a bedraggled neighbor returns from battle, lust, jealousy, and rage threaten to destroy the trioās tenuous existence, before an ominous, ill-gotten demon mask seals their horrifying fate. Driven by primal emotions, dark eroticism, a frenzied score by Hikaru Hayashi, and stunning images both lyrical and macabre, Kaneto Shindoās chilling folktaleĀ "Onibaba"Ā conjures a nightmarish vision of humankindās deepest desires and impulses."
