Audience Member Underrated! Very creepy and scary! Great little movie! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review William D Although there are some gruesome images here, the movie doesn't really generate any real horror or suspense. It was a bit interesting as an example of 1960s Japanese horror films. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/14/23 Full Review Christopher B A disturbing film with some truly terrifying visuals and themes. Shocking and thought provoking in equal doses, Jigoku is literally a haunting look at hell and all the suffering involved for those destined for it. Depressing and terrifying especially in the third act. The story focuses on morality and what awaits those that choose themselves over obedience to a higher power and focuses primarily, obvious by the title, on the negative side of morality. While the film has a more normal and easily conveyed opening and middle, it is the final part of the film in which the truly horrifying fate of the protagonist comes to life, and his torment rings deep, so much so that you feel it when sitting simply watching the film. If you like modern horror films, it is much different than the in your face gore and blood everywhere (although a particular scene involving an eye does have similarities), and plays more like a psychological horror film but has the terrifying images of Hell to force upon the viewer a feeling of insurmountable dread and despair. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/23/22 Full Review william k Astonishing horror morality tale loaded with lots of unusual deaths tells its story with imaginative poetic visuals, a superb and adequately dark soundtrack and meandering plots twists; the end sequence in Hell is both surreal and silly, albeit fascinating, both the theological implications are quite illogical. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member classic vision of buddhist hell. well done! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Jigoku es una de esas pelis que demuestran que con poco presupuesto pero con muy buenas ideas se puede hacer una película interesante, refrescante y que tiene algo que decir. Cierto es que la primera mitad es más lenta, pero encuentro la trama coge carrerilla, el ritmo es fantástico y la tensión va en aumento, hasta ese apoteósico final, repleto de inteligentes efectos (y bastante duros para el época). Una de las pelis mas interesantes y desconocidas del género en los 60. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
