The premise
A young girl suffers a terrifying nightmare of a vampire with blazing golden eyes. Eighteen years later, it is revealed to be a hellish prophecy when a strange package containing an empty coffin mysteriously turns up at a nearby lake.
Horror Vault's take
A childhood nightmare of a golden-eyed vampire proves far more than a bad dream when a young woman's past resurfaces in deeply sinister form decades later. When an inexplicable coffin washes up near a tranquil lake, the terror she once glimpsed as a girl begins to take shape in the waking world. This 1971 Japanese chiller blends gothic atmosphere with a slow-burning sense of dread, offering a distinctly Eastern take on classic vampire mythology. Fans of atmospheric, mood-driven horror will find plenty to savour in its haunting imagery and escalating menace.
