YesAsia Editorial Description
Horror master Nakata Hideo, the director of Ring and Dark Water, goes back to the source with his first period horror Kaidan. Based on a famous 19th-century story by Sanyutei Encho, this eerie and elegant Edo-period piece is stylistically a marked departure from his previous films, though every bit as chilling. A nod to the works of pioneering filmmaker Nakagawa Nobuo, Kaidan evokes the classical horrors of the 1950s and 1960s with its folk tale narration and kabuki romanticism, infusing modern production values with age-old scares. Another offering from prolific J-horror producer Ichise Takashige, the film both terrifies and enchants with its handsome photography, beautiful art direction, and haunting tale. Appropriately enough, kabuki star Onoe Kikunosuke (Inugamike no Ichizoku) embodies the film's tragic lead, crossing paths with a strong line-up of actresses that includes Kuroki Hitomi (Tokyo Tower), Seto Asako (Death Note), Aso Kumiko (Nada Sou Sou), and Inoue Mao (Gegege no Kitaro).
Years ago, a debt collector was slain by a samurai. Before falling to his death, the debt collector placed a curse on the samurai who went on to kill his wife and himself. Years later, the samurai's son Shinkichi (Onoe Kikunosuke) is now a tobacco seller, and as cruel fate would have it, he falls in love with the debt collector's daughter Toyoshiga (Kuroki Hitomi) who is years his senior. Toyoshiga's jealous nature, however, drives a wedge in their relationship, and he accidentally injures her during a quarrel, inflicting a wound similar to that which killed her father. After she dies, Shinkichi runs off with one of her students (Inoue Mao), hoping to start anew, but Shinkichi can't seem to escape Toyoshiga's resentful spirit and all the women who cycle relentlessly in and out of his life.

很久以前，一個商人向武士討債不成，反被武士殺害，商人臨死前詛咒武士：「…我要你的子孫世世代代不得好死！」商人被沉屍深潭，武士精神失常，斬殺妻子，忠僕抱走武士的初生兒子新吉，將他撫養成人。另一邊廂，商人的女兒豊志賀見父親久久未歸，以為他拋棄家庭，只得和妹妹阿圓相依為命。
20年後，風華正荗豊志賀邂逅年少風流的新吉，二人不理旁人的目光，共赴同居。一次爭執，新吉錯手劃破豊志賀的面額，她的容顏竟像受了詛咒開始潰爛，花心的新吉卻依舊樂而忘返。充滿妒恨的豊志賀含怨自殺，留下遺書給新吉：「如果你再娶，我要你的女人不得好死…」新吉不以為然，但跟他搭上的女子，一個接一個慘死……
250 years ago Soetsu, a humble moneylender, is murdered by Shinzaemon, a cruel samurai, and his dead body is disposed of in the Kasanegafuchi, the pool of a river where it snakes around, and where legend has it, those who sink into the water will never float to the surface again. 20 years later, in a chance encounter, Shinkichi, the handsome son of Shinzaemon, meets Toyoshiga, the daughter of Soetsu, and they fall in love. When Toyoshiga dies from a mysterious disease, Shinkichi finds that not only is he unable to avoid the mysterious fatality of the past and Toyoshiga's tenacious love for him, but he is also forced to confront the ghostly truths held by the Kasanegafuchi.

Gorgeous tale of retribution
|
"Kaidan" is a stunningly beautiful horror tale about the sins of the father being visited upon subsequent generations. A humble acupuncturist who saves his money then lends it for interest has trouble collecting a loan from an arrogant samurai. When he presses the samurai for repayment, the samurai kills the moneylender. Next we fast forward to the next generation. A humble tobacco salesman (the son of the samurai) catches the eye of a famed singing teacher (the daughter of the moneylender). However, the singing teacher soon comes to suspect that the salesman is interested in one of her students. When they squabble over his intentions, he inadvertently cuts the eyelid of the teacher. The cut strangely turns into a horrible boil, which gets steadily worse until it kills the teacher. However, before she dies, she tells the salesman that if he ever marries another woman, she will haunt them forever. Will the teacher's ominous warning come true? Since this is a horror movie, you probably can guess the outcome. Typical of the genre, "Kaidan" is quite schematic in the presentation of its creepy story. What sets it apart is the eye-popping beauty of its cinematography, costuming, set decoration, and cast. This is a feast for the eyes! Highly recommended. |
