The Living Skeleton

In this atmospheric tale of revenge from beyond the watery grave, a pirate-ransacked freighter’s violent past comes back to haunt a young woman living in a seaside town. Mixing elements of kaidan (ghost stories), doppelgänger thrillers, and mad-scientist movies, Hiroshi Matsuno’s THE LIVING SKELETON is a wild and eerie work, with beautiful widescreen, black-and-white cinematography.

Starring Kikko Matsuoka, Yasunori Irikawa, Masumi Okada
