This beautifully filmed ghost story is based on one of the oldest horror tales in the world. It tells the story of a young man who falls in love with a mysterious woman, only to discover – too late – that she belongs to the world of the dead. One horrifying night she returns... to take possession of his body AND his soul.

The story has been filmed many times. Here, director Chusei Sone delivers a version in the Nikkatsu 'Romanantic Porno' style. The film contains many stunning images that linger long in the mind.
