Almost exactly a year ago, Radiance released Daiei Gothic: Japanese Ghost Stories, which kind of interestingly came out simultaneously with another at least tangentially related release from Arrow, J-Horror Rising. As was discussed in my Daiei Gothic: Japanese Ghost Stories Blu-ray review, I found the Radiance aggregation to be more compelling than the Arrow collection, and even without any "competing" release from Arrow this time around, this offers another appealing trio of ghost stories, though it may frankly be some "extracurricular" contextual elements rather than the films themselves that engender at least some of the interest, especially when viewing this trio through the prism of Daiei kind of slowly stumbling toward bankruptcy in 1971.


Video quality is assessed in the above linked reviews.

Audio quality is assessed in the above linked reviews.

Supplements on each disc are detailed in the above linked reviews. This is handsomely packaged in a nicely designed slipbox which holds three keepcases. All of the keepcases feature reversible sleeves. The slipbox also encloses a really nicely appointed perfect bound booklet with some great writing by the likes of Jasper Sharp and Tom Mes. Radiance's typical accoutrement of an Obi strip is also included.

This is a rather interesting set at least for contextual reasons if arguably not for any inherent "lost classic" status of any of the films. Technical merits are generally secure, and as usual Radiance has assembled some appealing on disc supplements and informative writing in the insert booklet. Recommended.
