Most of this movie deals with a relationship between a samurai, his fiancé and his friend. It only becomes a ghost story towards the very end of the film. It is pretty gruesome for something made in the 50s with festering wounds and sword slashes shown clearly. There's plenty of murders and some pretty clear cut villains on show, Based on some very old Japanese folklore it's worth a look for the atmosphere alone as many of these old Japanese ghostly epics are.
