What's the Japanese film similar to Black Hair?


It took me a while but I finally got round to seeing Kaidan and the first story really reminds me of another film. I have only vague and disjointed memories but I'm sure it follows the same basic premise (based on the same tale?). But I also have a feeling the woman he marries is a ghost, not his original wife. Any ideas? I thought it was Kuroneko but now I'm not so sure.

Maybe you're talking about Ugetsu Monogatari by Kenji Mizoguchi. But they're different styles.

Different styles but very similar stories

Yeah I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Ugetsu Monogatari.


You're nothing to me now, you're not a brother, you're not a friend, I don't want to know you or what you do

Yotsuya Kaidan is VERY similar. Haven't seen but I know. Starring Tatsuya Nakadai which is in Kaidan too.

i don't know about that but it sure reminded me of Ju-On (The Grudge), there was also a ghost woman in that with black hair
