KILLINGS BY A SERIAL RAPIST] aka13 SERIAL RAPES and THE DEVIL WHO ATTACKED 13 PEOPLE
and SERIAL RAPIST
This film is an exercise in pure nihilism, perhaps the nastiness movie
ever unleashed. The central character - played by stoic Tenzo Umazu
- is an overweight, detached, gun-weilding sex-fiend cycling around
the Tamagawa River Bank area of Toyko looking for women to rape and
kill (or, sometimes, kill and then rape). In the next few days, he slaughters
thirteen different people - mostly females, but also males - before
the rather surprising end.
Koji
Wakamatsu was known as the 'Pink Godfather.' He was easily Japan's
most influential erotic director responsible for 110+ films, mostly
angry and misogynistic... yet intensely artistic. In the late '90s,
he took a 5 year hiatus from filmmaking and went to the Middle East
to 'mingle with the rebels.' Mr Wakamatsu died from heart failure October
2012 age age 76.
