is a 1957 black-and-white Japanese thriller film directed by Kyotaro Namiki and written by Akira Sugimoto, based on the book Notautsu Kanpei by Japanese military officer Keisuke Kosaka.
The film is best known for its association with the SNES game EarthBound. Its creator, Shigesato Itoi, accidentally walked in on the film as a child and mistook a murder scene for a rape scene, which traumatised him and inspired the eerie dialogue during the game's final boss battle with Giygas.
