Samurai Iemon (Kazuo Hasegawa, Gate of Hell) has grown distant from his wife Oiwa since she miscarried. Oume, the pretty young daughter of a wealthy family, falls madly in love with Iemon after he saves her from a group of drunk swordsmen. Oiwa learns about the blossoming affair and grows despondent. Without his knowledge, Iemons associates conspire to clear the way for him to marry Oume by poisoning his wife. But Oiwa returns from the grave as a horribly disfigured ghost to haunt Iemon and her tormentors. Director Kenji Misumi (Lone Wolf and Cub) and writer Fuji Yahiro (Sansho the Bailiff, A Bloody Spear at Mt. Fuji) turn the quintessential Japanese ghost story into a profoundly resonant doomed romance, with chilling ghost scenes that would leave a deep mark on the creators of J-horror.
