''[[Onibaba]]'' (鬼婆) AKA ''Demon Hag'' is a Japanese [[Psychological Horror]] [[Samurai]] film from 1964, written and directed by [[Kaneto Shindo]]. It is based on an old Buddhist Fable, but the film is notable for its uncompromising modern vision, including frank depictions of sexuality and ruthless female power, fast cuts, slow motion, unusual angles, and a frantic soundtrack mixing natural sounds and traditional drumming.

The iconic mask inspired the design of the demon in ''[[The Exorcist]]''. Also, the film is named after creatures in Japanese folklore, which you can find [[wikipedia:Onibaba (folklore)|here]].
