The Village of Eight Graves (Yatsuhaka Mura / Movie) 4K Digitally Restored Ver. [4K ULTRA HD]

Madness and beauty awakened through supreme visuals and sound -- "The Village of Eight Gravestones" is reborn in stunning form on ultimate 4K UHD!! For this 4K digital restoration, the original negative was meticulously scanned in 4K resolution, bringing out the film's original detail to the fullest extent possible. The breathtaking visuals, filmed entirely without the use of CGI, now feature enhanced color range and detail, bringing scenes of mystery and terror back with unprecedented clarity. Not only the visuals but also the sound has been pursued to the highest level. Carrying on the spirit of director Nomura Yoshitaro, who constantly sought cutting-edge technology, the audio has been reconstructed under the supervision of the Nomura production staff. Carefully restored from valuable cine tape materials (original 4.0ch audio), it has been vividly remixed into a modern "5.1ch REMIX" presentation. The enveloping surround sound delivers overwhelming realism. The ultra-high-definition images created from scans of the original negative bring famous scenes to life like never before -- including the legendary "massacre of 32 people" sequence in which Tajimi Yozo, played by Yamazaki Tsutomu, runs through falling cherry blossoms with a sword in hand, where every individual cherry blossom petal is rendered with astonishing beauty. In addition, scenes set within the vast and dimly lit limestone caves take full advantage of 4K's ability to portray intricate darkness, creating even greater terror. Experience that unforgettable impact and beauty in the highest quality available today. "The Village of Eight Gravestones" 4K Digital Restoration Edition 4K ULTRA HD Blu-ray also includes a reduced-size reprint of the theatrical pamphlet originally produced for the film's 1977 theatrical release (partially edited) and four photo cards as enclosed bonuses! Approximately 32 minutes of video extras: Original theatrical trailers (5 versions) and the documentary "Cinema Kiko."
