Movie Review: Kuroneko (1968) Review
Critic Reviews:
The classic tale of spectral revenge, it is a film of the early antiheroes of the written word and moving picture; spirits betrayed by fate, corrupted by fellow man.

While not the fastest-moving film around, there’s still plenty of stuff to like about “Kuroneko” making it one of the top entries in this genre around.
Kuroneko is not the feminist manifest some make it out to be and it is not a defense of paternalistic values either.
