Jigoku - Criterion Collection

Shocking, outrageous and poetic, Jigoku (Hell, a.k.a. The Sinners Of Hell) is the most innovative creation from Nobuo Nakagawa, the father of the Japanese horror film. After a young theology student flees a hit-and-run accident, he is plagued by both is own guilt-ridden conscience and a mysterious, diabolical doppelganger. But all possible escape routs lead straight to hell - literally. IN the gloriously gory final third of the film, Nakagawa offers up his vision of the underworld in a tour de force of torture and degradation. A striking departure from traditional Japanese ghost stories, Jigoku, with its truly eye-popping, and -gouging imagery, created aftershocks that are still reverberating in contemporary world horror cinema.
