“This is an amazing film, Kuroneko. Actually, I saw somewhere here Kaneto Shindo's other film Onibaba. It's very well known, but Kuroneko is maybe lesser known and it's the most haunting, sort of spine-chilling ghost story. I really can't explain it, but I think if you haven't seen it, you need to go and watch that. So I'll take both those.”
