Japanese Hell
A young girl Rika finds herself mixed up in Aum,the cult responsible for the the sarin gas attack on Japan’s subway system. As a result, her soul teeters on the edge of hell. The Queen of Hell pays her a visit and grants her a glimpse of what’s in store for her in hell. Soon she’s tumbling into the fiery abyss, bearing witness to sinners mercilessly suffering in a manner befitting their sins.
JAPANESE HELL is a trashy cult film about a cult group and cult favorite Hell. The film feels like it is two films in one. One is a tour of hell film and the other is an exploitation of the Aum Shinrikyo cult (Remember the sarin gas incident in the subway of Japan? That’s them). After little research, I discovered that it really is combined two films in one. Director Teruo Ishii merged two projects when the financing fell through on one of them. As a result it doesn’t work too well as a film. And it is trashy.
Por la carátula y el año no es la misma, pero vi una titulada "Jigoku" (infierno)...[]
Quizás esta sea un "remake" porque la que yo digo creo que era mucho mas antigua (de los setenta mínimo).
