THE SNAKE GIRL AND THE SILVER-HAIRED WITCH (1968)
Director Noriaki Yuasa isn’t exactly well known for his work on
projects with a great deal of atmosphere. This is thanks to his
involvement with the original Gamera
series, a franchise that became increasingly absurd as it went on.
These were often nonsensical low budget stories aimed squarely at
children after all. The same could be said of Daiei Film in some cases,
although their output does include the original Yokai Monsters and the Daimajin
movies. But while this story of rival sisters and spooky attics does
feature a child star, it certainly packs in several sequences that will
make most giant turtle fans do a double-take.
