"Rape!13th Hour" tells the story of a brutal gangster and rapist named Crimson.He is stalked by a trio of gay vigilantes.One night Crimson rapes a ballerina with the help of a young gas station worker.Crimson's accomplice can't climax,but his thoughts about rape are overwhelming.Soon the series of brutal rapes is set in motion..."Rape!13th Hour" by Yasuharu Hasebe is not as disturbing as 1976's "Assault!Jack the Ripper",however it features lots of rape and hard misogyny.This controversial pink film is perhaps one of the most extreme Nikkatsu rape movies.The climax which takes place in an empty swimming pool is truly nihilistic and evil.The acting is solid,the women are attractive and there are some tense moments.A must-see for fans of depraved exploitation cinema,but despite of its nasty reputation "Rape!25-ji bokan" is nothing in comparison to many pinku eiga movies which would follow.8 out of 10.
