  From Teruo Ishii 'The King of Cult' Blind Woman's Curse (also known as Black Cat's Revenge) is a thrilling Yakuza film featuring eye-popping visuals sensational fight sequences and the gorgeous Meiko Kaji (Lady Snowblood Stray Cat Rock) in her first major role. Akemi (Kaji) is a dragon tattooed leader of the Tachibana Yakuza clan. In a duel with a rival gang Akemi slashes the eyes of an opponent and a black cat appears to lap the blood from the gushing wound. The cat along with the eye-victim go on to pursue Akemi's gang in revenge leaving a trail of dead Yakuza girls their dragon tattoos skinned from their bodies. A bizarre blend of the female Yakuza film and traditional Japanese ghost story with a strong dash of grotesque-erotica (the same movement was a sensibility of Edogawa Rampo whose works were adapted by Ishii in Horrors of Malformed Men) Blind Woman's Curse is a delirious mash-up of classic genre tropes of which Ishii was no stranger having directed everything from Super Giant films to Biker movies!
