“If you came for the art, this movie might be your little slice of heaven.”
—Japanese Film Archive
“JIGOKU is more than merely a boundary-pummeling classic of the horror genre — it’s as lurid a study of sin without salvation as the silver screen has ever seen.”
—Film Forum
Join us for a trip to Buddhist Hell with a group of sinners in this shocking and visceral Japanese moral horror classic. Nobuo Nakagawa is a master of low-budget horror, and he doesn’t spare any of the sufferings of the afterlife in this colorful Cinemascope fantasia.
