The premise

Unholy Women (Kowai onna), is a composite of three unrelated half-hour horror movies. A compilation of 3 separate short horror films (Rattle Rattle, Hagane, The Inheritance) written and directed by Keita Amemiya, Takuji Suzuki, and Keisuke Toyoshima respectively. The first segment, “Rattle Rattle”, tells the story of a young woman who is pursued by an evil other-worldly being. The second movie, “Steel”, concerns a young man who agrees to take the sister of his boss out on a blind date, drawing him into a world more frightening than he ever dreamed possible. The third and final episode, “The Inheritance”, is a supernatural tale of a woman and her young son, scarred by abuse and psychological trauma.

Horror Vault's take

A Japanese anthology horror film comprising three distinct short films, each helmed by a different director and exploring a unique brand of dread. One segment follows a woman relentlessly hunted by a malevolent otherworldly entity, while another lures an unsuspecting man into nightmare through an innocent blind date. The final tale weaves together abuse, trauma, and the supernatural around a mother and her young son. Together, the three stories showcase a range of Japanese horror sensibilities united by themes of evil and suffering.
