Quick Hit

Onibaba turns hunger, sex, and violence into one sweating nightmare. The reeds feel as dangerous as the people.

Full Take

Shindo strips the story down until every desire becomes survival and every survival choice becomes corruption. The landscape traps the characters as effectively as any castle or crypt. It is feral, erotic, and merciless. ELITE.
