Director Teruo Ishii delivers four dramatized tales of real-life crimes of passion involving women across the ages in this grotesque anthology.

Japan's legendary 'King of Cult' Teruo Ishii (Horrors of Malformed Men, Shogun's Joy of Torture) delivers four dramatized tales of real-life crimes of passion involving women across the ages in this grotesque anthology featuring the stories of the 'Hotel Nihonkaku Murders', the notorious 'poison wife' and last woman in Japan to be executed by beheading, Oden Takahashi, the brutal serial killer Yoshio Kodaira and the story of Sada Abe, the infamous castratice featured in Nagisa Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses.

88 Films is proud to present this unflinching look at female pathology drawn from Japan's criminal casebooks for the very first time outside Japan.
