Classic Japanese Cinema Discussion Thread

Over the centuries in Japan the supernatural cat creature bakeneko has inspired countless classic kaidan stories, based on the creatures unnerving ability to shapeshift into human form, to curse and possess humans. Filmmakers of the 20 century adapted traditional legends and folktales, producing many splendid horror/supernatural themed films dedicated to creepy tales of the mysterious revengeful feline.
