There are some great 1970's pink films. This is not one of them unfortunately. The story is mainly a vehicle to the bondage & sex scenes. and if you are looking for the bondage & sex, you will probably be disappointed anyway. Most of the bondage is just someone struggling already tied up in rope. Except near the end that is several bondage positions smashed into one scene. The script is minimal though usually these films have more of it. The acting except for Naomi Tani is very poor. They read their lines sometimes mumbling their words, like they were just told they won't be paid. Just a very disappointing movie. Much, much better Japanese pink movies to choose.

After a doomed, cruelly unconsummated marriage to an older man ends in an especially traumatic fashion, the melancholy, dazzlingly exotic, Yuki (Naomi Tani) returns to her childhood home. Not without with good reason, Yuki's wholly unexpected return dramatically arouses some wanted, and much unwanted attention from these Yuki-Nookie crazed, hyper-eroticised males!

An undeniably exciting, generously S & M slathered pinku drama, Akira Katô's thrillingly erotic 'Niizuma jigoku' still has much to recommend it to openly smut-seeking Nikkatsu fans. An occasionally cruel, darkly sensual work, the deliriously delectable vision of exquisitely beautiful star, Naomi Tani, writhing in the myriad exultant throes of Bondage-fuelled ecstasy are certainly not readily forgotten! Weirdly undervalued, 'Niizuma jigoku' is creatively shot, engagingly acted, and comes with an exceptionally fine score, remaining some eminently rewatchable pinku-eiga.
