I was interested in it because I know it's a version of the Kaidan Kasane-ga-fuchi, and having watched Nakagawa, Yasuda and Hase adaptations I was curious to see what Mizoguchi brought to his version, although I'm guessing it wasn't as gruesome as the others or as utterly misanthropic and cynical as the Kazuo Hase version. I know few of the pre-war kaidan/horror films have survived.
