Onibaba (1965) (Japan)

Onibaba is among the most interesting horror films I have ever seen. The story is about a recently widowed woman who begins to have relations with her late husband's best friend, only to be haunted later by her mother in law. The film is mainly shot at night in very tall grass, making for some spectacular cinematography. The nightmarish scenes of frenzied running through the dark field are stunningly horrific.This film is a little off the beaten path. In fact, unless you're a Japanese film buff, you've probably never heard of it. That aside, it's well worth the hunt to find this gem.
