Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Shugo Fujii later disowned the film's marketing, which leaned heavily on the nudity angle rather than its psychological ambitions.
Released during Japan's 'J-horror fatigue' era, it bombed commercially but developed a cult following among fans of extreme cinema — often compared unfavorably to Cube but with more powder.
