Synopsis by Robert Firsching
Two years before directing the hugely successful Kunoichi Senshi, Masahiro Kasai made this softcore supernatural thriller about a woman (porn star Nao Saejima) with the ability to commune with spirits. After joining her husband (Toru Nakane) in a get-rich-quick scheme involving bogus seances, Saejima incurs the wrath of the King of the Underworld, who takes her to his kinky kingdom of sexual horrors. Nakane and a Chinese monk have to follow her to the spirit world in order to get her back, setting the stage for some mildly titillating setpieces.
