This horror tale relates the consequences of a Japanese legend which tells of a man who has to betray his wife in order to achieve power.
Based on one of the oldest ghost stories in Japanese mythology, The Ghost of Yotsuya blends dreamlike and beautiful visuals with restless spirits and nasty gore. It's director Nobuo Nakagawa's (Jigoku) take on the rich kaidan folktales, and it comes off as not just a spooky ghost story but a strong Edo period film as well. If you love Kwaidan (1964) and want more of that, The Ghost of Yotsuya will quench any thirst for malevolent spirits and vengeful phantoms from beyond the grave.
