Oh my, a whole list of #bakeneko (demon/ghost cat) films.

This is why I love #Letterboxd so much: every #film is a gateway to hand-curated lists of conceptually-related films—genealogies along every imaginable vector.
@semidetached I have had my reservations, but the lists make it indispensable to me.
@nicole A genre I really want to get into. Could you recommend a good starting point?
@darkcorners3 Kuroneko is fantastic.
@nicole That I have seen. We did a video about it and Onibaba.
@darkcorners3 Oh, Onibaba is also total amaze. Love it. Hausu and Legend of the Demon Cat are also wonderful.
Past that, though, I think we’re on even footing: the rest of this list aspirational for me right now. 🤩
@nicole @darkcorners3 Hausu is seriously bizarre. I love seriously bizarre movies.
@d4doome @darkcorners3 Bizarre and charming!! My favorite seriously bizarre (and yet charming) movie of the last few years was Psycho Goreman. https://boxd.it/oY2I
No demon cats, though. :/
@nicole Hausu is another we've reviewed, recommended to me by a friend who said 'You've never seen anything like it'. She was right.
@nicole OK, this might almost be enough to overcome my resistance to Letterboxd.
