Iemon (1928) is this fascinating blend of drama and horror that really captures a haunting atmosphere. Directed by Norikuni Yasuda, it dives deep into themes of obsession and the supernatural. The pacing can feel deliberate, almost meditative at times, which is interesting for a horror film. There's a certain craftsmanship in the practical effects that stands out, giving it a tactile quality that modern CGI often lacks. The performances are quite compelling, especially in how they convey intense emotion and existential dread. It’s not your typical horror fare; the underlying melancholy and psychological tension makes it distinctive. It's definitely a piece that reflects the era's cinematic experimentation.
