This is an exceptional drama with elements of horror from Japanese director Kaneto Shindo. Two women living in a marsh during the medieval Japanese war period make their living by killing samurai soldiers and robbing them of their weapons and armour. Into their lives comes a former soldier to upset their existence.
As atmospheric as you could ask for in an eastern Gothic film like this. The marsh setting with the tall reeds is claustrophobic the photography is suitably creepy especially at night and there is a highly charged erotic atmosphere to the whole film.
This is a unique horror film. Well worth a look.
103 minutes.
