If good movie is sin Jigoku will surely take you to hell
I usually find it positive if I can’t categorize a movie and Jigoku surely gets the point from that. It’s somewhat bizarre combination of drama, horror, film noir and art house where happy moments are more rare than good movies in Hollywood.While the hell sequences of Jigoku seem to gather most of the attention I think that the story as a whole is what makes this movie good. It proceeds fluently from disaster to another and while some events lead to unexpected results the script never leaves a viewer with a feeling that the twist was added just for the twist’s sake (as is the case with many new movies).
Technically the movie is awesome; good acting, great score (especially the haunting vocals) and beautiful cinematography. From modern perspective some of the hell sequences are way outdated (mainly the demons) while some look brilliant even today (settings like the river bank and some of the gore effects like the guy who gets flayed).
I doubt that Jigoku pleases everyone but if you’re into bleak and uncompromising movies this is almost a must see. 8/10
Groundbreaking, genre-creating masterpiece
Nobuo Nakagawa directed a handful of horror/ghost pictures, but this is the most interesting of them all. A young man (Shigeru Amachi), indirectly responsible for a number of deaths, is sent to Hell for punishment. The Hell depicted here is the Buddhist version crossed with the Catholic version. Pools of fire. Torture. Lost souls doomed to walk in endless circles. Bodies flayed. Dismemberment. Flesh ripped from bones. The whole nine yards. The last half hour possesses an authentic level of hysteria as our “hero” attempts to extricate himself from the madness. Like “Kaidan” and even the “Female Convict – Scorpion” pics, this has a strong theatrical feel and is lit like an avant garde stage play. That this was made in 1960 is quite extraordinary for it foreshadows the extremes of cinema to come such as Japan’s own “Guinea Pig” as well as 1964’s “At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul” (from Brazil) and 1967’s “Tonight I’ll Possess Your Corpse” (also from Brazil). A groundbreaking, genre-creating masterpiece that is definitely a product of a more naive but less conservative era.
