The Inugami Family (犬神家の一族, Inugami-ke no Ichizoku) is a 1976 Japanese mystery film directed by Kon Ichikawa. It is based on the novel The Inugami Curse by Seishi Yokomizo. The film is the first in Kon Ichikawa's and Kōji Ishizaka's Kindaichi Series. The soundtrack is composed by Yuji Ohno. Ichikawa remade the film in 2006 as The Inugamis.
Murders start taking place within the very rich Inugami family in connection to a will left by Sahei Inugami, the family patriarch to Tamayo, an outsider.
