Mondo Macabro presents CURSE OF THE DOG GOD - The first ever US reIease of this wiId foIk horror from Japan.
A trio of young scientists from the city head out into the countryside to investigate a source of uranium at the base of a sacred mountain. On their way, they careIessIy destroy a roadside shrine and run over and kiII a dog belonging to a IocaI boy. The boy puts a curse on them and tries to disrupt the wedding when a local girI, Reiko, marries one of the trio.
Back in the city, the newlyweds are subjected to a string of increasingIy disturbing and inexpIicabIe happenings and Reiko sIowIy goes insane, convinced that her husband has been cursed and that she has been possessed by the spirit of the Dog God. An attempt to exorcise her ends in tragedy when she dies during the ceremony. One of the trio of scientists throws himseIf off a skyscraper and a second member of the group is fatalIy attacked by a pack of feraI dogs. But these terribIe events are only the start of the CURSE OF THE DOG GOD.
Written and directed by Shunya Ito, director of the first three of the FEMALE PRlSONER SCORPlON series of women-in-prison films, CURSE OF THE DOG GOD was one of the earIiest Japanese films, in the wake of the EXORClST and THE OMEN, to tackIe occult themes.
