The Tale of Oiwas Ghost Limited Edition Blu-Ray

When the daughter of an elite family takes a liking to the poor samurai Iemon (Tomisaburo Wakayama, a loner and young man), he sees an opportunity to climb the social ladder. He just needs to get rid of his only obstacle: his beloved wife Oiwa. He poisons her and dumps her body in a nearby swamp, but she returns as a terrifyingly disfigured ghost to haunt Iemon on his wedding night. Crime film specialist Tai Kato (I, the Executioner) brings the famous ghost story of Yotsuya to the screen as a gripping tale of murder and greed, with an intense performance by Wakayama (The Bounty Hunter Trilogy, Big Time Gambling Boss) in the lead role.
