Around the same time as director Ishii explored S&M with his notorious JOYS OF TORTURE films, he dabbled in the horror genre. This ghost thriller from 1970 is one of his most famous projects. It's the story of a tattooed swordsman who becomes hopelessly paranoid [cursed·] after she kills the Aozora Yakuza boss and accidentally blinds his daughter (Meiko Kaji from LADY SNOWBLOOD and the SASORI prison movies). The plot allows the director to incorporate many excessive scenes of sex and bloodshed (for example, a demented hunchback skins women for their tattoos).
