'Retribution' (2006) aka Sakebi. Dir. Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
Retribution proves to be an exceptionally eerie, paranoid, emotionally complex, frequently unsettling horror film. A smart, pleasingly visual chiller, 'Retribution' begins auspiciously as a suitably grim Serial Killer police procedural and soon takes an altogether more sinister descent into the darkly fascinating domain of the supernatural! Beautifully written, with an outstanding performance by, Kōji Yakusho, this gripping, intelligent thriller is masterfully directed by prodigiously gifted filmmaker, Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Having a number of memorable, vividly stylised set pieces, Retribution is arguably one of the more astonishing titles from the acclaimed J-Horror theatre series.
