Don Willmott Filmcritic.com aspires to be more than a porn film, but the only memories you'll take away from it are images of Shizuko bound into insanely cruel positions. Enjoy Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

william d More weird than erotic. At least they spent some money on it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Not enough nudity for the story Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This starts out with a modicum of plot and degenertes into fetish porn. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): Thumbs Up For what it is, it was quite interesting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This modern Japanese erotic thriller is an interesting throw back to the violent pinku eiga films of earlier decades, but with that rich, glossy film quality that makes it much more visually captivating, complete with some beautiful and startling imagery. The sex scenes range from disturbing to sexy, with plenty of overlap, and if you don’t see how that's possible then you can probably skip this one, unless you're curious. The story was also intriguing enough to hold my interest, and although the psychology of the characters may not be deep, it's there nonetheless, helped along by solid acting. This is pretty impressive for an artsy exploitation film, but that's why I felt so let down by the perplexing and poorly written twist at the end, which was completely unnecessary. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Honestly, it was not a movies for everyone. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
