Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a six-film anthology adapting manga legend Kazuo Umezu, whose work inspired Junji Ito. Kurosawa was the only 'art house' director in the bunch.
The house itself functions as a third character — Kurosawa later explored similar domestic/possession themes in Real and Creepy. Here the architecture breathes with the wife's unraveling psyche.
