N/A

When social unrest plagues a Kingdom in ancient China, the Imperial Court collects stockpiles of gold from local governments to expand the royal army. However, the gold is robbed while in transport. In a desperate move to retrieve the stolen treasure, elite royal guards are sent on a mission to go after the gold but soon find out they are not the only ones in pursuit of it.

This classic Japanese horror movie directed by Nobuo Nakagawa is based on an 18th-century kabuki masterpiece written by Tsuruya Nanboku. It is about a woman who haunts her husband after she dies a miserable death. The story has terrified the Japanese people for ages, and is probably the most famous ghost story of the Edo period. This particular version is the 1959 Eastman color edition, and likely the most popular and well known film version of this story.
