The Inugami Family

The clan of the late and wealthy Sahei Inugami were understandably upset that his will left his fortune to outsider Tamayo (Yoko Shimada), contingent upon her marrying one of his grandsons. As the brood convenes at his home to argue next moves, a string of grisly slayings begins-and slovenly but canny cop Kosuke Kindaichi (Koji Ishizaka) must rise to the challenge. The first of Kon Ichikawa's six Kindaichi adaptations co-stars Mieko Takamine, Mitsuko Kusabue. 146 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In Japanese with English subtitles.
