Tales from the Crypt: Feudal Japan Edition. The middle two segments are best, having at least some internal logic to them. Everything looks artificially theatrical, the pacing could be quicker, and nothing is particularly scary, but as an artistically heightened and visually sumptuous retelling of Japanese folklore, this is pretty good.

Excellent shot composition, camera movement, and use of color. Usually I don't like the presence of obvious background sets, but it worked pretty well here. The are many great, creepy, memorable images, while the fablistic stories, though sometimes predictable, become rich with the fantastic visuals.

A controlled, measured anthology of ghost stories, which I assume are based very much in Japanese lore. It all looks beautiful, despite the use of studio sets, and the use of colour, sound and silence is wonderful. While it feels quite economical in nature, it allows mood to build and the actors to turn in quite nuanced performances. It won't be for everyone, and patience is required, but I really liked this. Will have to check out the stories' source, and more of Kobayashi's work.

Stunning images and a haunting atmosphere should be enough to make a compelling film about ghost stories, but I can't say that was my experience. The stories are paper thin and drag on and on taking away from the impressive imagery which seems constrained by the storytelling it has to follow. The second half, especially the third story, did seem more engaging but by that point I had started losing interest.

It's absolutely beautiful to the eye. Of the four stories, the second and third are the best. The first one is okay, and the last is just kind of a silly diversion. Unfortunately the whole movie is much slower than it needs to be, but when the images are so gorgeous it's hard to get upset about that. Extraordinary use of sound and silence.

My wife complained about the movie Creepshow, because the story is told in its entirety well before the short is over. I don't think it matters because the shorts are so much fun. Which brings us to Kwaidan, a film that is ten times as beautiful and haunting, and not even a tenth as fun. The best short here is Hoichi the Earless, but it is preceded by at least ninety minutes of battle scenes. The battle is beauty, but I'll stick with Ted Danson if that's ok.

Certainly one of the most surreal and strange horror films you'll ever see. It doesn't have the awful jump-out scares that plague films of today. I think everyone will pick out their favourite of all the stories which is fine. They're four distinct tales and naturally people will prefer one to the other. Something for any (real) horror or surrealist movie fan.

Like every other mini-review states, this looks great, composition-wise and in terms of editing/ trickery. But it didn't involve me, the stories are far too simplistic and predictable. The next time I see this I will turn off the subtitles and simply enjoy the imagery and the music, perhaps then it will create a mood not influenced by the narrative.

Beautiful. Every shot seems like it was carefully constructed with expert precision. If only the stories were as intriguing narratively. There isn't really a dud, but only the third one hit out of the park. The rest is a solid double. The use of colour and sets to generate a surreal atmosphere are worth the time spent here.

Other than Hoichi the Earless, which runs a bit long for an anthology, this is a great collection of highly-stylized folk tales, each using ghostly antagonists to manifest the existential fears and desires of the main characters. The visuals alone are worth the price of admission, with the most artificial set design this side of The Night of the Hunter and with sumptuous cinematography to bring it all to life. If all art is a lie, being so blatantly lied to is rarely as enjoyable.

Quite a disappointment. Freder is through blaming himself for falling asleep on movies that are as tedious and trying as this one is. Overlong by at least 90 minutes, with stories that won't scare or surprise anyone who's read Bradbury or EC comics. Yes, it's beautifully designed and shot. But its virtues have been blown up all out of proportion over the years, and anyone who's not absolutely entranced by Japanese culture in all its minutiae will just find this a great substitute for Sominex.

Kwaidan contains four folk tales, each one better than the last. This is a film that succeeds mainly on its formal qualities. There aren't any deep or hidden messages buried beneath these stories, but they're all so visually spectacular and atmospheric that it just doesn't matter. It's hard to pick a favorite. From the shot of the eyes in the green sky to the ghost-like movements of the disembodied torches, this is a film overflowing with beautiful and haunting imagery.

Japanese ghost stories (or "Kaidan") had already been adapted to the screen in droves, by Kobayashi himself among others (another favorite of mine is Nakagawa), but never in such lush, full color, anthologous scope and power. Hauntingly beautiful, and really brings Japanese folklore to life.

One of the best films I've ever seen. I found the whole thing pretty amazing and mesmerising. The Black Hair was my favourite, but they're all great. The minimalist sound design and music throughout is incredible. Most of them are actually like watching theatre. The sets were gorgeous. It's all filmed beautifully, too. If you're looking for complex stories, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for pure atmosphere and beauty, this film delivers in spades.

Horror doesn't need jump scares and gore to be scary. Kwaidan is a beautifully shot and often very creepy anthology of horror stories and it works best by being subtle. I loved the way the sets worked, how the reality mixed with surrealism, and how the lighting changed as if in a stage play. I'm sucker for a good ol' Japanese ghost story, too. The tales themselves might not be too complex, but I think the surreal style worked best with stories like these.

Whether utterly terrifying (The Black Hair) or immeasurably haunting (Hoichi the Earless), the collection of tales within Kwaidan are all extraordinarily beautiful, the visuals aren't altogether unbelievable, but rather infuse the work with the fairy-tale atmosphere that it seeks to replicate thus providing it with a fantastical aesthetic. Although the depth of the tales within are merely general fables, the beauty of the film itself and how its tales are told overshadow its minor issues.

The stories aren't terribly engaging, yet it is still great due to its aesthetics and mood. The film, particularly the second and third stories, is like walking in to a gallery of Japanese art through the ages. The expressionism of the thing is just stunning to watch. Though the film isn't scary it still nicely gently runs its fingers down your spine and there are a couple emotional punches, but the main reason I enjoyed it was for its out of this world visual choices.

Kwaidan is visually astounding, but the storys presented feel disjointed and ultimately not as compelling as you'd hope. The third story, Hoishi the Earless is the only one of the four that has any real merit in terms of its story telling, but the rest of the movie is certainly still interesting. The set design and costumes are phenomenal; truly some of the most sophisticated I've seen before and this is a 43 year old film. Highly recommendable on all fronts.

This is the highest score I've ever given to a film I fell asleep during. The first two stories tried my patience but the third (and longest) is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen, basically doom metal in cinema form, full of phantasmal depictions of the aftermath of battle that remind me of the best parts of Kurosawa's Ran. And to be fair to the lesser segments, there is a pervasive ethereality throughout that gives even the boring parts a spellbinding quality.

This is a mix of the Twilight Zone, Creepshow, and the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark folk tale/urban legend books done Japanese-style. It was much better than I expected in spite of how predictable the stories were at points. The visuals are clearly the bread and butter...maybe the best I've ever seen. The graveyard scene with Hoichi playing the biwa for the spirits was definitely the high point.

The first and last parts aren't bad, but they're not good enough to merit the extra hour of runtime. Parts 2 and 3 are the only to really use stylized sets, but they're so beautiful I think they've clouded people's judgement of the other parts. 1 & 4 might as well have been shot on location. I'm not convinced they weren't, and it even looks like the same place

The hand-painted sets were really really nice to look at, and the use of sound and music was also great. But most of it was just too slow and labored to take in in one sitting. The stories are basically fairytales you'd tell your children, as you'd tell them to your children. Don't expect a ton of depth, and you'll find one or two stories here you'd actually like. (or all, but probably not at once)

I see that reviews here are torn between people who enjoy scenery and people who enjoy being entertained by their movies. If I wanted scenery, I would go hiking. I like hiking. I don't like staring at trees in movies. Anyway, the first story was literally "and then a skeleton popped out" but the others were better. Unfortunately my itch for things to be happening outweighed my interest in the strange visuals and classic spooky folktales.

Hmm, I just wrote a mini-review repeating all the style vs. substance comments (JooJoo sums it up). But the concepts are not in contention. The artificial style is important as a facile guide to discern the rhythm of the four stories. The key thing to consider is the way that style is employed internally in each section. I do agree that the stories themselves could be more engaging. Kwaidan has numerous unique expressions that I'm sad to report haven't been reproduced very often.

Shot thoroughly on mammoth studio sets, with a wholly post-synched and vigilantly restrained soundtrack, Kwaidan is nearly as far from filmmaking "realism" as it's achievable to be. Indeed, several of the exterior scenes are on interior sets, allowing extensive liberty to enhance surrealistic dashes to the sky backdrop. However in going to such radically elaborate extents as acclimatizing facets of puppet theatre to filmmaking, it accomplishes a delicate fusion of realism and stylization.

First Kobayashi film I've seen in color and he does a lot with it. Some of the coolest matte paintings I've ever seen. Really appreciate this classic Japanese arthouse take on horror which sort of cops elements of Mario Bava's style (this came out the year after Bava's technicolor anthology horror "Black Sabbath) but strips any trace of camp to create a true work of art. Is 3 hours long but again, anthology style broken up into 4 stories so it can easily be digested in multiple sittings.

an anthology horror movie that relies more on atmosphere and eerie visuals rather than any actual scares. normally this wouldn't be much of a problem for me, but three of the four stories fall flat on their face, it seems that the creators knew that because the one on the cover is the winner. it's decent, but hardly worth much note.

Beautiful-looking & eerie, but also romantic. The contrapuntal use of sound means I have two sets of information coming at me at once (one visual, one aural). Example: the scene at an archery competition. A rider charges along on horseback, firing arrows at targets. The clomping of the hooves is replaced by a sound of a loom clickety-clacking, which lets us know the rider isn't thinking about the target he's aiming for as much as he is the wife he left behind.

Pretty underwhelming coming after Harakiri. The four stories were very basic and it turned out I had already seen one of them in a different anthology film. Won't spoil which one it was, but it was the best one. The other three didn't feel as rewarding or justified in their lengths. The movie had some interesting visual/sound choices in its stories, and there were some cool sequences. However, I couldn't help thinking they were all in a soundstage/boxed painted room. It's Style over Substance.

Featuring four separate stories, many (all?) of whom are based in Japanese folk tales, it's an earlier anthology film that packs a hefty runtime as a result. Bolstered by the themes and subjects of its stories, as well as fine performances in each, there's nothing outright wrong with it. But, it's likely only going to appeal to a certain taste, & if yours isn't that it won't be very exciting or memorable. Still, it's worth a look if it sounds interesting, the Snow Woman story being a highlight.

Several small stories. I suppose they are intended to teach some kind of lesson, but aside from the first one, the messages are vague and undecipherable. The first story was good, about a man who sacrificed his love, due to poverty, to take another wife and a lucrative post, only be be plagued by guilt and unhappiness. After that the stories get weirder and more vague. If the first story had been fleshed out better it might make a good movie, the rest is basically rubbish.

The third and longest episode is the strongest, though the meta-fictional final episode and the haunting first episode (with an especially horrifying resolution) are worthy as well. Only the second episode feels unsatisfactory, at least on a narrative level. In terms of style, however - both visual and aural - it's pretty uniformly rewarding.

Amazingly beautiful, often surreal, expressionistic visuals. Epitome of haunting and dreamlike. Yes, it's very slow paced. Relax! Enjoy the stunning imagery. There are many genuinely moving or creepy moments. It helps to have a familiarity with Japanese history and folklore, especially the original ghost stories as written by Lafcadio Hearn.

The first is okay and well done, though predictable. The third one was interesting but I found myself losing interest in it more than once.

The highlight of this eerie anthology is undoubtedly Hoishi the Earless with its unnerving score and gorgeously expressionistic set designs.
