“Once it’s dark, it can’t get any darker.”
Horror is filled with iconic masks, from Michael Myers and his vaguely humanoid contours to Peachfuzz and his unruly snarl. Some allow killers to hide their identities, attacking in secret while maintaining a relationship with their would-be victims. Others provide a persona of strength and terror that a would-be villain could not otherwise achieve. Though masks have been a genre staple since the dawn of film, few are as uniquely terrifying as the Hannya mask in Kaneto Shindô’s Onibaba. Set in 14th century Japan, this gorgeous film follows a fearful woman who dons a traditional mask only to find it slowly seeping into her skin.
Kichi’s Mother (Nobuko Otowa) is patiently waiting for her son to return from war. Left without a male provider, she lives with Kichi’s Wife (Jitsuko Yoshimura) in a hut surrounded by a large field of suzuki grass.

Ghostwire: Tokyo originally released in 2022 as a one-year timed exclusive for PlayStation 5 due to Microsoft's purchase of Bethesda, the game's publisher. With that year now up, Ghostwire: Tokyo has made its way to Xbox Series X/S consoles and PC through Game Pass. This transition also comes with the new "Spider's Thread" update that adds more content to the main game, as well as a whole new game mode. Given the mixed reception to the original release's core experience, this update is a welcome inclusion and makes it that much easier to recommend.
As stated in the original Screen Rant Ghostwire: Tokyo review, the strengths of this experience are in its visual & sound design, narrative, and creativity. As a quick intro to this world, players take control of Akito after a mysterious fog washed through Tokyo's Shibuya district that captured the spirits of its population and left aggressive Yokai spirits to prowl the streets.
