Eros in Hell: Sex, Blood and Madness in Japanese Cinema Reviews


  • Tosh

    A good survey of underground or weird Japanese cinema from the 70's and onward. It's a good book to dip your big toe into the hot bath of Japanese film. Also finally there are DVD's coming out of this period, so it's a good chance one can now locate these films on DVD. But it has to be a really cool DVD store!

  • Zac Hawkins

    A quiet simply magnificent resource for the Japanese avant-garde and underground film scene. Seen my fair share of the oddities detailed within but have even more to check out and will do so as soon as possible.

  • Steve Rincon

    This is an incredibly exhaustive book on Japanese 'Pinku Eiga' or 'pink movies.' Get this, if you can find an affordable copy!

  • Perry

    Magnificent.
