SECRET CHRONICLES OF THE GHOST CAT (1969) - REMASTERED
Hiroku kaibyo-den (aka: Haunted Castle)– The year is 1729 and Lord Tangonokami Nabeshime of Saga Prefecture has taken a fancy to the blind monk's sister, Sayo.
Monk Matashichiro refuses to bow to Lord Nabeshime's lecherous interest in Sayo and so the Lord and his Chamberlain ultimately kill the monk. Sayo is then ordered to leave Saga the next morning, but instead she commits suicide by cutting open her stomach and asking her brothers cat Tama to lap her blood as she dies so that the cat can gain supernatural powers and curse the castle...
Ghost-cats / Avenging spirits, usually of wronged handmaidens, incarnated after their cats lap up their spilt blood, are a staple of Japanese ghost stories as well as that nation’s Classic Horror Cinema.
Director Tokuzo Tanaka was an accomplished genre specialist (and veteran of many Zatoichi Blind Swordsman films). Here he spins his rip-roaringly macabre take on the ghost-cat mythos, a tale of the suicide sister of a murdered noble monk returning to avenge herself on the guilty Lord and his Samurai.
Director: Tokuzo Tanaka
Stars: Koichi Uenoyama, Mitsuya Kamei and Akihisa Toda
