 SNAKE
WOMAN’S CURSE
(Synapse Films)
1968. Horror. 85 Minutes. Not rated. In feudal Japan, an elderly man is
accidentally killed while begging his landlord to forgive his nonpayment
of rent. Still owed a lot of money, the landlord enslaves the deceased
man’s wife and daughter, but things go awry for the landlord and his
family as they become the playthings of a curse.
You know, I watched this
movie waiting for something to happen, but the only thing that happened
was boredom and disappointment. While I did enjoy Nobuo Nakagawa’s
direction and shooting (the ghost trickery was kind of cool), the story is
a snore. Extras include the theatrical trailer, poster gallery, extensive
liner notes, and reversible cover with original Japanese poster artwork:
something I love that only Synapse Films does. – Denis Sheehan
