Vicious and disturbing rape/revenge movie from cult Japanese director Takashi Ishii. It'll be quite an ordeal to sit through if you struggle with films like "I Spit on Your Grave" and "The Last House on the Left" as this one contains similar, almost endless scenes of rape and ter... read more
Known in the UK as 'Freezer' this is an interesting Thriller, which I feel has a certain Hitchcock influence to it, reminders of Psycho and Rope came to mind at times.
It really begs the question, what you would do in this desperate scenario?
There is a certain amount of pr... read more
It is no secret that Japan is able to come up with these whacked out stories. This rape-revenge thriller concept falls into this category, but director Takashi Ishii doesn't take advantage of it. We just end up with a disappointing thriller.You have a young woman who gets ra

This movie is fucking retarded. Chihiro has to be one of the least sympathetic protagonists ever - she's a likeable girl at first, but she displays no common sense whatsoever. To say too much would spoil it, but in short: there are a million ways that she could get out of her pre... read more
it's really just a japanese version of 'I Spit on Your Grave' with a different twist(the main character having a love interest). it's mostly crappy, but if you're a guy you can appreciate the countless topless scenes with the hot japanese chica in this.

There is no psychology here, and no real narrative logic -- just a series of carefully choreographed atrocities, which become strangely impersonal and abstract. Full Review
A suffocating rape-payback horror show that hinges on the subgenre's most enabling victim ... and an ebullient affection for industrial-model meat freezers. Full Review
It's hard to be fully supportive of any film that traces its cinematic lineage back to the famously loathsome cult classic I Spit On Your Grave Full Review
characters behave in a rather unbelievable fashion in order to further the contrivances of the plot. Full Review
About a manga-like heroine who fights back at her abusers, it's energetic and satisfying if not deep and psychological. Full Review
To show these characters in the act and give them no feelings of remorse -- and to cut repeatedly to the flashback of the original rape -- is overkill to the highest degree. Full Review
It downplays the initial assault, referring to it only in fragmented flashbacks, while offering a cogent critique of ongoing attitudes about rape and its victims, particularly in Japan. Full Review
