film 31 of obligatory october of horror gonna do the usual anthology thing of having short reviews for each part, talking about common themes, and then trying to turn that into one rating. the black hair: didn't really do much for me narratively. nicely stylized, fit the tone and story well. never felt bored or anything, just didn't get very invested. 6.5/10 the woman of the snow: colours! definitely also didn't bore me, had a somewhat more interesting story. felt kinda like a stage play. 7.5/10 hoichi the earless: this is by far the longest story which really helps it feel more fleshed out... read more

Artistic movie, great set pieces. About vengeance for abandonment, promises broken, battles lost, and for that which is harder to perceive.
