Per wiki: Yabu no naka no kuroneko (1968) “is a 1968 Japanese jidaigeki horror film directed by Kaneto Shindō, and an adaptation of a supernatural folktale. Set during a civil war in feudal Japan,[a] the film’s plot concerns the vengeful spirits, or onryō, of a woman and her daughter-in-law, who are raped and murdered by a band of samurai.” Although the Japanese title literally means “a black cat in a bamboo grove”, the phrase yabu no naka in Japanese is also used idiomatically to refer to a mystery that is difficult to unravel.
