Snake Woman's Curse (1968)
Directed by Nobuo Nakagawa
Quick Hit
Snake Woman's Curse either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands comfortably above water. The visual discipline keeps it sharp.
Full Take
There’s a real hook here, but the follow-through decides the damage. It lives or dies on execution, not reputation, and that matters here. Japanese horror of this period tends to sharpen image, rhythm, and ritual into something meaner than it first appears. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s enough to push it into SOLID.
