What The Bride from Hades Is About
Satsuo Yamamoto's 1968 Japanese film opens on the night of Obon, when the dead are remembered. Shinzaburo meets a beautiful woman carrying a lantern and becomes attached to her, not knowing she is dead. The film follows a classic ghost story. The neighbours notice and hang charms on the house; the real tension comes not from the ghost but from Shinzaburo refusing to give her up once he knows. The narrative builds fear through light and sound rather than sudden shocks. The lantern scenes are its best-known images. The tone is melancholy rather than punitive. Who it's for: those who like Japanese ghost cinema and classic kaidan tales. Who it's not for: viewers wanting brisk horror; the film moves slowly.
