88 Films are bringing the 1973 Japanese erotic horror drama ‘Woods Are Wet’ (女地獄 森は濡れた) to UK Blu-ray on November 25, 2024.
Based on the novel ‘Justine’ by the Marquis de Sade and written/directed by Tatsumi Kumashiro, the film revolves around a young woman on the run who is taken in by a couple with dark intentions. The cast includes Hiroko Isayama, Rie Nakagawa, Hatsuo Yamaya, Yuri Yamashina, and Kyoko Kano.
Synopsis: Sachiko, an innocent young woman fleeing after being accused of the murder of her mistress, is thrust into an inferno of depravity, cruelty and perversion when she stumbles into a remote country inn run by a sadistic couple. Nikkatsu’s top director of its erotic Roman Porno line, Tatsumi Kumashiro, brings the Marquis de Sade’s Justine to life in the Taisho era of Japan in the 1920s in this dark and brutal exploration of the boundaries between pleasure and control.
