The Bride From Hades Blu-Ray

The noble samurai Shinzaburo (Kojiro Hongo, Gamera) receives a nighttime visit from the beautiful courtesan Otsuyu (Miyoko Akaza, Lady Snowblood). She asks him to marry her and save her from life in the brothel. Shinzaburo is immediately captivated by her beauty and agrees to marry her. A cautious love affair develops, but in his infatuation, he fails to realize that Otsuyu is a ghost. His friends join forces to drive away the spirit, but can the enamored Shinzaburo resist the allure of this enchanting woman? With a screenplay by Yoshikata Yoda from Ugetsu, the original Shinobi director Satsuo Yamamoto brings this classic Japanese ghost story to life on film with breathtaking stylistic beauty. His visualization of the seductive female ghost anticipates A Chinese Ghost Story and greatly inspired the J-horror movement.
