In this episode, we dive into Kaneto Shindō’s Onibaba (1964), a haunting descent into lust, survival, and damnation set against the marshes of medieval Japan. Join The Dale, Cea, and Twan as we break down a tale where hunger and desire blur into horror, where two women kill to live, and one demonic mask turns the human face into something even more monstrous. Tune in as we explore how Onibaba redefined the boundaries of folk horror and erotic dread. We’ll dig into its hypnotic visuals, the ritualistic rhythms of survival, and the way Shindō weaponizes shadow, sound, and silence.
