Living Skeleton1968

Horror Vault's take

From the golden age of Japanese horror cinema comes this atmospheric revenge tale set against a backdrop of fog-shrouded seas and a cursed ghost ship. A brutal act of piracy leaves a trail of blood that refuses to stay buried — three years later, the surviving twin of a murdered woman finds herself at the center of a terrifying chain of mysterious deaths. Shochiku's black-and-white cinematography lends the film a distinctly gothic, haunted quality that lingers long after the credits roll. Fans of classic J-horror and eerie maritime atmosphere will find much to savour here.
