***Was "The Vanishing" the film in which a man's wife disappears at a road stop and he spends the rest of the time trying to find out what happened to her, only ending up suffering the same fate? Truly horrifying.That's the one.
***A Japanese horror film recommendation: "Kwaidan". This is a beautiful quadrilogy of horror and I'll never forget the opening story (like "Kurosawa's Dreams") or the one with the priest covered with writing to protect him. Very impressive on Criterion's laserdisc.
Will take a look at that one.
Trully enjoyed the Rampo. Normally that would be too slow and introvertial (don't know if this word exists) for me, but enjoyed every minute. Mysterious music that sounds like it was written by Nino Rota for another 8 1/2. The original sound track is available - do you have it by any chance?
Only have the laserdisc of the film, not the music CD. There was an earlier version of this film directed by Rintaro Mayuzumi in 1992, but the producer (Kazuyoshi Okuyama) wasn't happy with the result. He reshot about 40% of the scenes and rereleased it in 1994 to correspond with Edogawa Rampo's (sounds like Edgar Allen Poe, get it?) 100th birthday. This is the version that made it to the U.S. and laserdisc format. Reminds me of David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" in its beauty and strangeness.
