Hiroshi Teshigahara's debut film PITFALL is part social-realist critique, part unsettling ghost fable and here receives its first DVD release in the west. A wandering miner, looking for work with his young son, is pursued and savagely killed by a mysterious, silent assassin in a white suit and hat. The killer threatens a female witness to lie to the police and blame it on someone else. As mistrust and more killings spread through the barely populated, rundown mining community, ghosts of the dead appear and follow the action, unheard by the living, yet imploring them for answers. Who is the man in white and why does he sow confusion?
