A Japanese "ghost story" anthology, Kwaidan is a horror movie of the unconventional kind. While I have been used to shockers and screamers like The Ring, The Grudge and The Eye, Kwaidan goes for the more subtle, eerie approach.
The horror scenes don't just spring on you. All throughout each episode you get the feel that something is kinda off, though you can't quite put your finger to it. The setting and the music are all very efficient at creating an unsettling atmosphere and the storylines are not your usual wronged-woman-lusting-for-revenge-takes-advantage-of-modern-technology plot.
Not my usual cup of tea, but good nonetheless.
