The Ghost of Yotsuya (1959) – Review

Posted on October 17, 2025October 17, 2025 by Mike Brooks

Kenji Misumi’s The Ghost of Yotsuya is one of those films that proves ghost stories don’t need jump scares to crawl under your skin. It’s a tale of betrayal, greed, and vengeance that trades gore for atmosphere, letting guilt and paranoia do the heavy lifting. By the time Oiwa’s spectral face floats across the screen,…

Curse of the Faceless Man (1958) – Review

Posted on October 3, 2025October 2, 2025 by Mike Brooks

From the ashes of Pompeii rises a terror unlike any other—an immortal gladiator, entombed for centuries, now walking the earth once more. Curse of the Faceless Man trades the familiar Egyptian mummy wrappings for volcanic stone, giving audiences a lumbering relic whose face is as blank as his fate is sealed. Equal parts menace and…
