Throne of Blood
Movie • 1957 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
Returning to their lord's castle, samurai warriors Washizu and Miki are waylaid by a spirit who predicts their futures. When the first part of the spirit's prophecy comes true, Washizu's scheming wife, Asaji, presses him to speed up the rest of the spirit's prophecy by murdering his lord and usurping his place. Director Akira Kurosawa's resetting of William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in feudal Japan is one of his most acclaimed films.

There is a ghost in the forest with vocal affects that can be unnerving. It appears twice, and there is also a ghost at Washizu's big banquet.

Main character gets drunk and succumbs to his paranoia during a dinner scene, begins yelling. He loses his sense of reality and begins to see visions/ghosts.
