One night, Tokie Jinno (Yuko Asuka) is raped right in front of her tied up husband Yasuhisa (Hiroshi Nawa) by serial rapist Genpei (Shohei Yamamoto), and she later birthed her rapist's child, Tatsuya (Shun Domon). Thing is, Yasuhisa had a weird reaction to her rape, as it drove him to torture and humiliate his wife, including having sex with other women before her very eyes while she was tied up. But both Tokie and Yasuhisa have since died, and a now grown up Tatsuya has inherited all their wealth, which means he'll never have to work in his life. He also has a nice, innocent girlfriend, Yumiko (Hiromi Namino), and even if he keeps her at arm's length, everybody, especially her father (Bin Moritsuka), expects them to marry eventually. Thing is, both the actions of his stepdad and the blood of his real dad have injected him with perverted tendencies - so eventually, he kidnaps Saeko (Rei Okamoto), a prostitute Yasuhisa has had sex with in front of his mother, takes her to his secret basement, chains her up, rapes and humiliates her and ultimately tortures her to death. Initially this was only intended as an act of revenge, but it sure aroused him, and before long he kidnaps a high school student (Hiromi Namino), whom he tortures and humiliates in quite the same way as Saeko - but she really takes to it, and eventually he lets her, a better person from the experience,  go, and she never spills the bean on him. Next it's beautiful singer Jun (Natsuko Yashiro) and her assistant Machiko (Yuka Asagiri), whom he not only humiliates, tortures and rapes like all the others, he also plays them against each other - but ultimately they overcome him and try to make an escape. Enter Tatsuya's dad Genpei, who has not only kept raping and killing girls all those years, he has also kept an eye on his son, and he thwarts Jun and Machiko's scheme - and therefore Tatsuya lets him rape and murder Machiko, while he lets Jun humiliate herself big time by making her get naked in front of a large crowd of her fans before shooting her dead. Then though, it's time for Tatsuya to introduce Yumiko to his torture dungeon, Yumiko whom he's had tender feelings for for all his life - and now Genpei with his rapist and homicidal tendencies might get in the way ...

 

Having made movies since the mid-1960s, and many of them mainstream successes, this low budget S/M exploitation movie from director Norifumi Suzuki might have come as a surprise for many, and it sure isn't a film for everybody, as while much of the violence will come across as exaggerated, its rather misogynistic nature and utter bluntness doesn't exactly make this film a comfortable watch. And of course, the psychological undercurrents of the movie are overly simplistic in nature and strike a few wrong chords. But all the over-the-topness of this film is exactly what makes it rather entertaining, especially when seen through a nostalgic lense and not taken wholly seriously. And one has to hand it to Suzuki, he has sneaked some interesting creative choices into what would have turned into a dirty piece of sleaze in lesser hands. That said, not Suzuki's best movie by a longshot but certainly an interesting watch - if you're into this sort of thing that is.
