The Snake Girl and the Silver Haired Witch (blu ray) standard edition
The Snake Girl and the Silver Haired Witch (1968) directed byĀ Noriaki Yuasa
A fantastically phantasmagorical slice of twisted tokusatsu terror ostensibly made for children that will irreparably traumatize any child that sees it!
A young girl named Sayuri is reunited with her estranged family after years in an orphanage ā but trouble lurks within the walls of the large family home. Her mother is an amnesiac after a car accident six months earlier, her sullen sister is confined to the attic and a young housemaid dies inexplicably of a heart attack just before Sayuri arrivesā¦ is it all connected to her fatherās work studying venomous snakes? And is the fanged, serpentine figure that haunts Sayuriās dreams the same one spying on her through holes in the wall?
Ā Making its worldwide Blu-ray debut and its home video premiere outside Japan, this rarely-screened, nightmarishly disorienting creepshow not only displays a seldom-seen side of kaiju auteur Yuasa, but its skilful blending of Umezuās comics (published in English-language markets as Reptilia ) arguably anticipates many of the trends seen in J-horror decades later.
