"With 'Kuroneko', Shindô obscures the thin line separating the dead from the living-through which spirits, sin, and passion move freely." | POS |

"There's a witchy, atmospheric timelessness to the movie that extends well past the unadorned sets." | POS |

"The film morphs into an obsessively regretful dialectic that trips into tragedy after lugubrious, otherworldly speculation. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | POS |

"A ghost story that's more eerie than unnerving, and often hauntingly lovely." | POS |

"Nippo-Gothic horror fables have a long tradition of proto-feminist outrage... Kaneto Shindô's Kuroneko may take the cake." | POS |
