Alive and kicking
Together with Nakata and Shimizu, Norio Tsuruta fronted the Japanese suspense wave. A true, dedicated horror director, though at his best when diverging from the usual less is more fare. A must for people who love Asian horror cinema.
The good stuff
The addition of the fantastical figure gives Orochi a somewhat novel feel though.
