The Public Cemetery Under The Moon - 1967 - 5/10
AKA - Wolhaui Gongdongmyoji // 월하의 공동묘지(기생월향지묘)

Perhaps Wol-Ha was born unlucky.
During the Japanese occupation, her brother was imprisoned.
While she was forced to work as a geisha or comfort woman.
Even later, married, she sickened, then died.
Then the new wife and her mother made moves to murder her son.

Lumbering ghost story spends a lot of time with the sneaky Nan-Ju.
Replacement wife, covetous, treacherous.
Enjoyable, if corny. Beautifully shot, if much too slow.
