Black Cat - 1968 - 7/10
AKA - Yabu no Naka no Kuroneko // 藪の中の黒猫
A roving band of twenty samurai soldiers enter an isolated rural home.
Inside are a mother and her daughter-in-law, whom the men rape to death.
A year later, samurai nobles, traveling at night, have their throats ripped out.
Classic, brooding film is parts horror, parts theatre, artfully composed.
Vengeance vies with doomed love, as a dutiful son and faithful husband tries to discover what happened to the two women in his life.
