Shadow Of The Wraith. by Toshiharu Ikeda. R1 USA DVD June 28th 2005.
(Posted In)
Toshiharu Ikeda is the Director of 'Evil Dead Trap' and 'Angel Guts : Red Porno'. I know both those split people, so feel free to wrangle that out in the comments - but if you noticed in the extras of the Angel Guts Boxset recently, Ikeda is very well respected by some important American Directors as having a great skill (if not always a great result?).
The IMDB entry for Ikeda shows no obvious mention of this film, and the title when searched for over there doesn't yeild anything either, but it was somehow clearly picked up on by TheGLine in his regular trawl at Amazon for interesting releases (if anyone knows how to effectively traverse their listings to do the same, let me know).
It's a Ventura Distribution release and their page for the film is here.

That reminds me that I have to get a copy of Evil Dead trap again. I loved that flick.

"Shadow of the Wraith" = Ikisudama (2001).
BTW, the official website for Ikeda's latest movie, The Man Behind the Scissors (Hasami otoko), is here.

After watching this movie in comparison to another movie (some really bad Italian zombie flick), I'd have to say that I am becoming a bigger and bigger fan of the Japanese/Asian horror films and less and less a fan of much the rest of the world (do we really need another Friday the 13th movie?). The two short stories that make up this movie are chilling in detail and subtle but growing supernatural presences. Both the seemingly succubus of the first story and the child demon of the second story truly creep me out, and I’ve been a horror fan for ages. I would love to see a movie if there isn't one already that brings back the main background character, Kazuhiko, and shows his “adventures” in the horror.
