Daiei Gothic Blu-ray Radiance Japanese Yotsuya Ghost Snow Woman Bride

Description: The pinnacle of atmospheric Japanese horror! Introducing Radiance Film's Limited Edition 3-Disc Blu-ray collection (UK version) for Daiei Gothic – Japanese Ghost Stories, which includes 1959’s The Ghost of Yotsuya, 1968’s The Snow Woman, and 1968’s The Bride from Hades. A collection of three of Japan’s most famous ghost stories that have haunted people for centuries. Kenji Misumi (Lone Wolf and Cub) directs The Ghost of Yotsuya, in which a woman returns from the grave as a horribly disfigured phantom to torment her husband and his new bride. In The Snow Woman, directed by Tokuzo Tanaka (Zatoichi), a woodcutter must keep his oath to a vengeful female spirit or pay the ultimate price. The Bride from Hades by Satsuo Yamamoto (Shinobi) sees a handsome samurai so enchanted by a courtesan’s beauty that he fails to realise she is a ghost. These three film versions from the Daiei studio form a pinnacle of atmospheric Japanese horror. Their elegant visuals and ominous shadows rival the best of Terence Fisher or Mario Bava, while their iconic female ghosts would greatly influence Asian genre cinema, from Hong Kong fantasy spectacles such as A Chinese Ghost Story to J-horror.100% Brand New and Factory SealedPacked with extra CARE with USPS Priority Mail service Discount/combined shipping if multiple items are ordered =)Photos in gallery is a sample of our actual in-stock itemsShips from Las Vegas, USALimited Edition Features:Six postcards featuring original archive imagery from the filmsLimited edition 80-page perfect bound book featuring new writing by authors Tom Mes, Zack Davisson and Paul Murray, newly translated archival reviews and ghost stories by Lafcadio HearnLimited Edition of 4,000 copies presented in a rigid box with full-height Scanavo cases for each film and removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markingsFeatures: New 4K restorations of The Bride from Hades and The Snow Woman High-Definition digital transfer of The Ghost of YotsuyaUncompressed mono PCM audio for each filmOptional English subtitles for all filmsNewly designed box and booklet artwork by Time TomorrowTHE GHOST OF YOTSUYA:New interview with filmmaker Kiyoshi KurosawaA visual essay on the history and adaptations of the classicGhost of Yotsuya story by author Kyoko HiranoTrailerReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Filippo Di BattistaTHE BRIDE FROM HADES:Audio commentary by author Jasper SharpNew interview with filmmaker Hiroshi TakahashiTrailerReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Filippo Di Battista THE SNOW WOMAN:New interview with filmmaker Masayuki OchiaiA visual essay on writer Lafcadio Hearn by Paul MurrayTrailerReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Filippo Di BattistaTechnical Specs: Year: 1959-1965Region Code: ABAudio: MonoPicture: 2.35:1Runtime: 83/80/89Language: JapaneseSubtitles: EnglishLooking for more movies like this?
