About Niizuma kahanshin: Washizukami
A deranged doctor lives in an abandoned hospital together with his wheelchair-bound daughter. Frustrated by normal women's perceived imperfections, the doctor kidnaps them and subjects them to sadistic tortures to turn them into subservient women for his childlike daughter to play with.
Directed by Hisayasu Satō, Niizuma kahanshin: Washizukami leans on a strong ensemble — Rie Asai, Kyoko Nakamura, Aya Midorikawa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1991.
