"14.3. 2021 Two Japanese women make their living in times of war by stalking and killing soldiers. The younger woman starts a passionate sex relationship with a man but the older woman despises the man in spite of the fact the she is sexually frustrated as well. During the hard times people tend to rely on their natural instincts and focus on pretty much anything that would take their attention away from all the misery around them. "Onibaba" is a steamy melodrama inspired by Japanese folklore. T"

"Re-watch - Feb. 27th It's been about 10 years since I last watched Onibaba, so I was thankful for the opportunity to revisit it. And it's still a great film, full of memorable visuals (that mask especially) and outstanding music. I still think the best way to engage with the film is to go in blind, so I don't want to divulge details...just check it out if you haven't."

"7.2. Blu-ray Visuaalisesti häikäisevä ja aavemaisessa tunnelmassaan luomoava."
