Patches is managing to be both pensive and defiant, she knows I don’t really want her in my lap, and that’s what makes it such a sought-after destination.

Depressing as shit.

I mainly got it because the cover art grabbed my attention and I didn't know much about Japanese horror from the late 60s. And the cover art was from "The Snow Woman," so I guess I was already partial to that one without knowing it!

I'm partial to the flash forward, freeze-frame, record scratch, "I guess you're wondering how I got here, huh?" opening sequence. Most direct-to-streaming films would be improved by one.
