Title: Onibaba (1964) - Kineto Shindo
Product review: Onibaba is a film that is almost all atmosphere. From the great cinematography, to the drum beat soundtrack, to the unique and quite exotic performances of the lead actresses, there is never a single moment when you feel you've left this haunting place. The location, dominated by the tall grass that weaves in the wind, becomes a character in it's own right. The mix of both horror and folklore give the film a true form of originality. There are, however, a few plot holes that detract from the overall feel of the story, but Onibaba is a really good film that creates an incredible atmosphere allowing it to transcend the confines of it's genre.
