A master and his apprentice dare to go into the woods in search of the perfect tree for the sculpting of the new Goddess statue for the temple, but they end up being forced to spend the night in a deserted house in which they try to protect themselves from the severe snowstorm. As they fall asleep, a strange creature makes its appearance and draws the master's life out of his body. The apprentice, a witness to everything, is then forced to either keep silent about the events or give up on his life. Edit Translation

Story: The story it's about a scary ghost/show woman. There is a legend that says that she appears on snowy nights. She is a tall, beautiful woman with long black hair and blue lips, but has eyes that can strike terror into mortals. To not spoil too much I will just say that after she met someone something in her "life" changes.
Acting: I mostly enjoyed the leading actress's part. Firstly acting so scary and mysterious then lovely but still with a secret.
Music: I remember more like sound effects that gave me the chills
Re-watching value: It's a "classic" movie that I will definitely re-watch
If you like legends, twists and if you don't mind that it's an old movie, well what are you waiting for.

Japanese gothic tale
I am a huge fan of gothic horror and dark fantasy and this one was a mixture of both. Beautifully shot and i guess its based on a really popular folk tale.I am a fan of the simplicity of the movie...it really is very theatrical and natural. Only because its vintage it was also very dream like.
I really like Love stories like these where people just so deeply fall in love that they transcend the boundaries to be with each other....the story itself is so beautiful....a timeless romantic tale which is also very haunting but not terrifying.
I want such folk tales to be interpreted by women and see what they do with it. Maybe because this was interpreted by a man...this felt a bit dry on the part of characters. But otherwise good.
