About this product
Product Information
INUGAMI is a very artfully done Japanese horror film that has little blood, but plenty to boggle the mind. The Bonomiya family hails from a long line of ancestors extending back thousands of years. All family members are bound by certain traditions that they must uphold. They have, for example, rejected the use of many modern conveniences. It is said that the women in the family are supposed to watch over evil spirits (inugami). If they do not, or use spirits for questionable purposes, the spirits go on a bloodthirsty rampage throughout the village. From this lineage has come Miki, a middle-aged, unmarried paper making artist who lives in the village where her family fled from Kyoto 900 years ago. The arrival of a young schoolteacher, Akira, sets off a chain of strange events. As Miki finds herself falling in love with Akira, she magically starts becoming younger. The Doi family (the Bonomiyas' rivals in a nearby village) is horrified by the sudden change in Miki, and starts to spread panic about the cursed Bonomiyas.This is a family drama, ghost story, and quasi vampire tale by one of Japan's most provocative directors. Formerly a journalist, director Masato Harada makes good use of his experience a sharp social critic. His films descry inhumane social values and outdated, dysfunctional family traditions that prevents individuals from reaching their potential and keep them forever spinning in circles.Product Identifiers

A different type of horror movie
Although it would helped to have a better knowledge of Japanese philosophy, I was able to follow the story until the end. There were several twists and revelations along the way which made the story very interesting. What the characters do not know made for some alarming disclosures as the story developed. I did not fully understand the inter-family rivalries, and that plays out at the end. Even inside the prime family there are big surprises, including the back history of the family. Do we have a happy ending? That is for the viewer to decide.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
