Inferno of Torture

About This Movie

Inferno of Torture is a 1969 drama horror film from Japan, part of The Joys of Torture Collection. Directed by Toei Company, it explores dark themes of human trafficking and the demand for tattooed geisha in the nineteenth century.

Inferno of Torture has seen limited releases over the years, mostly as part of niche collections that focus on Japanese cult cinema. Original prints are quite rare, and even the VHS copies tend to be hard to find, which definitely adds to its allure among collectors. Interest in the film has grown as tattoo culture has become more mainstream, prompting discussions around its historical context and the societal implications depicted within.
