Directed by Masahiro Shinoda | 1979
With Tamasaburo Bando, Gô Katô, Tsutomu Yamazaki
This eerie trip down a country lane by Japanese New Wave-veteran filmmaker Shinoda (Double Suicide) is undeservedly rare. A teacher passes through a small village where he encounters a long-lost pal. This friend resides there not only because of his marriage to a beautiful local girl, but to fulfill a promise to ring a bell daily to appease the demonic spirit living in the surrounding waters. With award-winning art direction and a script that Shinoda adapted himself from a legendary kabuki play of the same name, Demon Pond is J-horror before it was cool.
