Description:
Inugamike no Ichizoku (aka Murder of the Inugami Clan) - Based on the novel about detective Kindaichi Kousuke by Seishi Yokomizo.
"The Inugami Family" is the hugely successful classic horror/mystery film directed by Kon Ichikawa. It tells a story of a strange will left by a wealthy man which reveals a peculiarly twisted set of relationships and triggers four deaths and several other murder attempts.
In 1976, the legendary filmmaker Ichikawa Kon made a film about a detective solving murder cases which involve family feuds, a disfigured soldier who returns from war, a hatchet, a koto string and chrysanthemums. 30 years later, he remade the movie, keeping many of the principal actors and added some new faces. He was 91 when he made this new version of the movie and two years later he passed away from pneumonia. This movie became his last work.
What's the reason behind this sequence of grotesque and bloody murders -- and who is the ghastly murderer? These are the riddles that ace private eye Kosuke Kindaichi has to solve.
In mid-1940s Japan Sahei Inugami, wealthy head of the Inugami Group and 'Silk King of Japan', dies in his lakeside villa at the venerable age of 81. In his youth, Sahei was rescued from poverty and an early death by a Shinto priest. However, upon Sahei's death, his debt of gratitude to the priest unleashes a bitter curse, triggering a chain of gruesome and bizarre murders as the members of the Inugami family are pitted against each other in a desperate contest for his fortune.
This haunting tale of murder and suspense is the first of over 80 stories, famous in Japan, featuring the popular detective, Kosuke Kindaichi. His disorderly character and eccentric habits conceal razor sharp deduction skills that enable Kindaichi to solve the crimes.
