Setsuko Ogawa, the Nikkatsu starlet who was born to play traditional geisha roles (starring in 25+ such films for the studio in a 15 year period), is Otsuyu for this erotic adaptation of the traditional Kaidan Botandoro [Bride from Hell] tale. Otsuyu is the daughter of the shogun's personal samurai and she's considered the beauty of the empire. One day, the girl meets and falls in love with a young warrior, Shinzaburo, who asks for her hand in marriage. But before the wedding can even be planned, she is killed by one of the royal servants, a jealous woman who wants dad's attentions for her own. But fear not, Otsuya returns from the grave as a very sensuous ghost and continues her carnal relationship with Shinzaburo. After a night of lovemaking, the two plot revenge against the tart who killed her.

Although a period film, director Sone's fairytale stylings provide the movie a visionary charm which appealed to the college crowd. In Japan, students embraced it as a cutting-edge movie, turning this venture into Nikkatsu's first youth-oriented pink film. At the same time, Chusei Sone's camerawork was hailed for its creativity by numerous tough critics. The film won many industry awards and became a bonafide hit. Director Sone would go on to make 40+ films for the studio (including two entries in the popular ANGEL GUTS series). Mr Sone died from pneumonia at age 76 in August 2014.
