Content warning

Standout Aspects

Direction

Inoue's kinetic camerawork turns every conversation into a potential murder.

Costume

1960s mod fashion vs. gothic mansion = unhinged visual deliciousness.

Writing

Dialogue so sharp you'll need stitches. The ending is CRIMINAL.

Best for:Friends: Watch with people who love yelling at characters making terrible decisions.·Solo: Midnight viewing with snacks and zero trust in anyone on screen.
Heads up:Violence: Multiple on-screen deaths, some quite creative for 1970.·Sexual Content: Seduction-as-weapon plotlines with frank 1970s Shaw Brothers sensuality.
