Director Nobuo Nakagawa is the father of the Japanese horror film and the mastermind behind Jigoku (AKA The Sinners of Hell). One of the most visually striking films of the 1960’s, it still jolts audiences today. This ultimate morality tale shows how the interconnected lives of several people, and the decisions that they have made, literally lead them to hell. The film’s notorious final act shows with stunning cinematography and practical effects just what punishment awaits these sinners in their eternal damnation. “[A] seamless combination of surreal imagery and horror: a feat that breathes frenzy and immortality to a classic and timeless arthouse horror.” – Dominic Duquiatan, grimoireofhoror.com
