During a civil war in 14th century Japan, two women kill any stray soldiers and sell the armour for food. They put the bodies down a dark pit.
One night a Samurai appears in a strange mask to the older woman.
After luring the samurai to fall in to pit, the woman uses the mask to frighten and stop her younger companion visiting a nearby man who has returned from the war..
Filmed in fields of towering susuki grass, this movie is full of atmosphere. Part drama part horror and filmed in black and white.
Great.
