Making its U.S. debut at IU Cinema on the 80th anniversary of its original release in Japan, The Ghost Cat and the Mysterious Shamisen is a rare surviving example of a pre-World War II Japanese horror film. Suzuki Sumiko, Japan’s original horror star, plays a jealous stage actress who murders her romantic rival—and her lover’s cherished pet cat for good measure! But her bloody past comes back to haunt her … literally. In Japanese with English subtitles.
