The ever popular Misora Hibari stars as Okiku, who returns from the grave to seek vengeance against the lover that murdered her. In this unique take on the traditional Japanese ghost story, a woman's love is misused, and unfortunately she pays with her life, only to come back seeking vengeance. Unlike the usual story, there is an element of mystery here, as Okiku's ghost seeks to find the truth before acting against her beloved. Can Okiku's ghost find out the truth behind her tragic death? A brilliant little black and white film with an all-star cast featuring some of Japan's most popular actors along with singer/actress Misora Hibari, who is still considered the Japanese people's all-time favorite actress according to a recent newspaper poll. |
