When a heartless landlord’s greed drives an old man to a fatal heartbreak, his widow and daughter are bound into servitude within his foreboding textile factory. As they toil under the watchful, oppressive eyes of their captor, ancient curses and vengeful spirits begin to stir, weaving a web of dread that tightens with each passing night. Nobuo Nakagawa’s classic tale of terror blends ghostly lore with the raw, suffocating atmosphere of post-war Japan, where every shadow hides a secret and every heartbeat echoes with the promise of retribution. This is a haunting story of sorrow, resilience, and the monstrous power of human cruelty that refuses to die.

User Reviews
MidnightGhost – 7/10
“I went in expecting a typical ghost story, but the slow burn and eerie atmosphere really got under my skin. The acting felt a bit dated, but the revenge curse at the end hit hard. Definitely worth a watch for classic horror fans.”
CreepyCrawler – 5/10
“The premise had potential, but the pacing was too slow for me. I appreciated the historical setting and the social commentary, but I wasn't scared as much as I wanted to be. Maybe I'm just used to modern jump scares.”
HorrorVintage – 8/10
“Nakagawa is a master of atmospheric dread, and this film is no exception. The victim's transformation into a vengeful snake spirit gave me chills. It's a bleak, tragic tale that stays with you long after the credits roll.”
ScreamQueen84 – 6/10
“I liked the eerie snake imagery and the tragic backstory, but the female characters felt a bit too passive for my taste. The climax was satisfying, though. It's an okay watch for a rainy night, but not his best work.”
