A sculptor and his teacher encounter a demon known as The Snow Woman and the teacher is killed. The demon allows the student to live as long as he never tells the story to anyone else. He agrees and then time passes.
Soon he meets a beautiful woman whom he marries and has a child with. They are terrorized by the ruling class of the village, but they continue loving each other and raising their child.
Things soon start to come apart as the village shaman accuses the woman of being a demon. Is she, or isn't she? This film has beautiful color and a great widescreen presentation.
It's a well acted horror film and love story that ends on a very sad note. Shiho Fujimura is excellent as Yuki, the young woman who may or may not be a demon. I will not divulge the ending, but it's very cool and the plot to this film has been done a few times in American horror films like Tales From The Darkside.
If you're a fan of Japanese horror, then this is perfect for you. I and my wife enjoyed the hell out of this film. I really recommend this for a few shivers.
