Kwaidan (1965)

Taking its title from an archaic Japanese word meaning "ghost story," this anthology adapts four folk tales. A penniless samurai marries for money with tragic results. A man stranded in a blizzard is saved by Yuki the Snow Maiden, but his rescue comes at a cost. Blind musician Hoichi is forced to perform for an audience of ghosts. An author relates the story of a samurai who sees another warrior's reflection in his teacup.

It's not scary or particularly unsettling apart for a few exquisitely created images. It is, however, breathtakingly lovely, visually composed like a painting...

A very good film. It's interesting to watch it, and compare it to Akira Kurosawa film's. Kwaidan has a very theatrical stage look to it which really helps the stories that are shown. Definitely check it out if your into Japanese cinema.

I'm surprised how some critics view this picture as a horror movie and therefore try to find flaws according to the genre rules. For me this movie absolutely transcends the horror genre into sublime mix of mystique and drama stories philosophizing on nature of man and his motives. The third story for me personally is a true masterpiece with its haunting soundtrack and story of an ancient rivalry.

A film that captures something deep and real about the remoteness of traditional folklore.

The kind of film that leaves a trace. Hangs between two worlds in more ways than one: the material stems from the shaky truce between men and ghosts, and the style is both classical and strikingly modern, with painstakingly crafted sets and angles erupting in a frenzy of color and magic. As in all the great horror films, and "Onibaba" and "Throne of Blood" in particular, there's a feeling that the characters are surrounded by a chaotic mistworld they can't comprehend. The uneasy blend of the stillness of Japanese culture and the restlessness of nature creates an eerie sense of timeless doom; not evil but ever-present. Each of the film's four stories deals with the choice between slavery and insanity following an attempt to deal with the supernatural, with the third one too melancholy and grand for words, especially mine.
