Onibaba is a Japanese classic based on the disturbing times in Japan a few centuries ago. My mistake was to start watching it as a horror movie and anticipating something like Jim Carrey's mask. Well, there were elements of that, but this was so different. This was and was not supernatural at the same time. It was more about primal instincts - those of food and sex. Very well mixed with religion and some good shots of Susuki grass. But much of the suspense, or mystery did not seem to matter much to me and as a result I was left rather unimpressed.
