★★★★★ · Love this Film!! · Some Kind of Creative Guy · 2026-07-05
Being a big fan of Japanese folklore and cinema, I was fascinated by the classic horror anthology, Kwaidan. While I enjoyed the story of Yuki-Onna. I prefer this version because Yuki-Onna is shown to be more terrifying and beautiful. The actress who plays her does such a wonderful job! Thank you, Roll 5 Five!
