레이프 25시: 폭간 (1977)

흥미로운 사실

Rape! 13th Hour is a 1977 Japanese film in Nikkatsu's Roman Porno series, directed by Yasuharu Hasebe and starring Yuri Yamashina.

Background

Nikkatsu had started its SM line of Roman porno films in 1974 with the hits Flower and Snake and Wife to Be Sacrificed both featuring actress Naomi Tani and directed by Masaru Konuma. After this first highly successful venture into sexual violence, the studio's output became increasingly rougher.

Nikkatsu hired Hasebe, though, realizing that he might push the envelope of acceptability, the studio assigned producer Ryōji Itō to watch over him. Hasebe had known Itō from his days with Nikkatsu in the 1960s, and they had worked well together. Itō had been Hasebe's assistant director on the Alleycat Rock series. In 1976 Hasebe turned out the first two "Violent Pink" films, Rape! and Assault! Jack the Ripper.

In spite of the film's box-office success, it became highly controversial with the public and with critics. The controversy surrounding the film was similar to that in the U.S. following the release of I Spit on Your Grave a year later in 1978. Because of the outcry over the film, Nikkatsu ordered that the extreme violence in future "Violent Pink" films be curtailed.
