THE GHOST OF KASANE SWAMP

“[Yasuda] transforms an otherwise simple story about a wife avenging her own death by the hands of her husband into a twisty, lurid tale of those worst of human impulses spreading throughout a town, and down to the next generation, like a disease.” - Derek Smith, Slant Magazine

The Japanese ghost film at its most lavish and chilling! Director Kimiyoshi Yasuda is best known for his run of ZATOICHI films, but also ventured into the supernatural with the YOKAI MONSTERS series and the occasional straight-up ghost story. Here, Yasuda remakes his own previous Kasane Swamp film from ten years prior. THE GHOST OF KASANE SWAMP is a Seventies film through and through, with wild handheld camerawork, a bloodier spate of violence and a decent dose of erotic scenes.
