BAKENEKO: A VENGEFUL SPIRIT
aka THE CURSED SWAMP
Dir. Yoshihiro Ishikawa, 1968
Japan, 86 min.
In Japanese with English subtitles
Lord Nabeshima, who rose to power by murdering his master, demands that the young Yujiki become his concubine. When she refuses to submit, he murders her and her fiance Yuki. Yujiki's cat consumes her blood and becomes her avenging spirit, possessing one of Nabeshima's wives and murdering his vassals, his concubines and his only son.
Ishikawa was one of the writers of BLACK CAT MANSION, and though he directed few films, Bakeneko displays directorial genius. Beginning in a quietly haunting vein reminiscent of UGETSU, BAKENEKO descends into a nightmarish parade of splattered blood, decapitations and ghosts gnawing on severed limbs.
