Shogun's Sadism

"Shogun's Sadism" from 1976 is a truly shocking drama/horror in which a number of bizarre and merciless methods of torture are carried out under the law of the Tokugawa Shogunate in a most realistic way. The story centers on an antagonism between a magistrate who finds sadistic pleasure in using all kinds of ruthless torture to sadistically torment Christians and a guard named Sasaki who despises such means. Yet in between all the the excessive violence, "Oxen Split Torturing" also features a tragic love story between Sasaki and a woman called Toyo, suspected of being a Christian. The second story takes place in a brothel, where works Sutezo as a cleaner/handyman. He decides to flee with a young prostitute named Sato. Unfortunately they are caught by the local magistrate and the nightmarish session of torture begins. "Shogun's Sadism" is an extremely brutal film loaded with shocking torture scenes and lots of sexual violence. We see women thrown into big vats of snakes, raped and, as in the title, ripped apart by oxen who each have a rope attached to one of the woman's limbs, tearing her apart when they run away from her. So if you liked Teruo Ishii's infamous "The Joy of Torture" series you can't go wrong with this sadistic spectacle. Not for the squeamish or easily offended.

The movie comes in about 3x40MB.parts
