The great Japanese director Kaneto Shindô’s Kuroneko is a chillingly eerie horror classic and a stylistic companion piece to its celebrated predecessor, Onibaba. A mother and daughter-in-law are raped and murdered by pillagers, but return from the dead as vampiric cat spirits intent on revenge. As the ghosts lure soldiers into the bamboo groves, a fearless samurai, Gintoki is sent to stop their reign of terror. Released to great acclaim in 1969, this film was included in the opening line up at Bradford’s Cinecenta Cinema, subject of a talk by film critic Mark Goodall alongside Charlie Bubbles.
