Pretty much the only ghost movies I really enjoy are old Japanese ghost movies. Unlike their stupid American counterparts, or even those not anywhere nearly as good modern Japanese ghost flicks, these older films are usually basic revenge tales helped out by supernatural forces. In this case we get a cat ghost(based on an old Japanese legend) wreaking vengeance upon a greedy ruler back in samurai times. This one is quite the classic and at times reminded me of a classic Universal monster movie in its aesthetics. It's got sword-fights, a doomed love story and a cursed lake. Check it out for some cool artistically done old-timey atmospheric ghost hi-jinks. AKA THE CURSED POND and THE GHOST-CAT OF THE CURSED LAKE
