Review by Robert Firsching

Another sadistic sleazefest from director Kaoru Umezawa (Zannin Maruhi Onna Zeme), this nasty little film deals with a cuckolded husband who kidnaps a young lady to work out some of his misdirected aggression. Torture, rape, and beatings ensue, and the victim goes from hating her abuser to falling in love with him in another preposterously misogynistic Stockholm-syndrome denouement. It's films like this one which give the pinku-eiga genre its not-entirely undeserved reputation as softcore for sadists. Shiro Shimomoto, Kaoru Kaze, and Mari Aoki (Kofun) co-star.
