a couple of weeks ago
we watched "High and Low" also with Toshiro Mifune. From the beginning
Herb was "it's Japanese, subtitled and black and white, how much worse
can it get"!!! Half an hour into it he was "Don't touch that dial"!!!
It was spellbinding and for once the letterbox (do they still call it that)
picture really worked. The first half was about a kidnapping of an
factory manager's son, only the kidnapper's got the wrong little boy
and kidnapped the gardener's little boy instead. There was a moral
dilemma - will the manager be as eager to hand over the ransom for
a servant's child. The next part was the police tracking down the
villain.

Dark Water and Premonition are two terrific Japanese "horror" films. Check them out!
