Review – Kaidan

Though this is a typically pretty and stylish Japanese production, the moral of the story doesn’t get much past the lyrics to a country song. A young man falls in love with a slightly older woman. Unfortunately, the two are beset by a curse stemming from an old family feud between their long-dead fathers. So when the youth’s eye starts to roam, things go wrong in a hurry. She ends up dead. He ends up with a curse (or at this point is it a double-curse?) that prevents him from ever having a relationship with a woman again. Your cheatin’ heart will put a curse on you. Mildly amusing
