Kaidan Horror Classics 1: The Arm & 2: The Whistler

Four renowned Japanese directors each adapt a supernatural short story by Japanese literary masters for the Kaidan Horror Classics omnibus series. In his adaptation of Yasunari Kawabata's The Arm, Masayuki Ochiai reveals the inner world of fetishists in an eerily unsettling tale of a man who convinces a woman to let him borrow her arm for a night. Meanwhile, Shinya Tsukamoto explores death and unrequited love in Osamu Dazai's The Whistler, about a woman who spies on her dying sister's secret love life after her own romance is dashed by her father.
