Cheap $6 grab from eBay last week. In case one didn't already know, Nobuo Nakagawa's Jigoku marked the first on-screen portrayal of gore effects, predating Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast in 1963. I know exactly zero Japanese, but I have a hunch this release commemorated the film's 35th anniversary judging by some the text on the cassette and its labels being in gold foil.

Movie ended up in the Criterion Collection and don't you know it's about a guy who dies and goes and sees the tortures of Buddhist Hell. In some ways it feels like kind of a religious movie in that way.
