ONIBABA is an iconic precursor to the J-horror movement that mingled terror and sexual arousal to become an art-cult-classic.
Set during a brutal period in history, a Japan ravaged by civil war between rivalling shogunates. Weary from combat, samurai are drawn towards the grass fields to hide and rest, and are ambushed and murdered by a ruthless mother and daughter-in-law team.
