A film that stands alone

Fantastic visuals, beautiful black & white cinematography, creepy music, an attractive lead actress and striking sets yet Living Skeleton is incoherent at times and difficult to follow. I've seen it once but will need to watch it again to pick up some plot points I didn't catch. Not particularly spooky, there are some repulsive moments and an unpleasant shot of the mad killer bludgeoning a Collie with a candlestick. For a better, creepier Japanese horror film, try to catch House of Terrors 1965.
