Movie · Japanese Cinema · Horror

A young man and woman are snatched while on a date, waking up shackled in a basement. A sadistic "physician" tortures, mutilates and sexually violates them. Sometimes he stops the brutality to provide medical assistance, so they can stay alive for a longer period of time. As the "doctor" continues with his torment, it is revealed he is simply doing it for sexual stimulation. After the most sadistic torture, he moves the couple to a clean "hospital" room, begins to bandage their wounds, and tells them they will be free to go after they heal. Whether it is the cruelest change of mind or just a sadistic next step, the two are taken back for a twisted "second act." As the young woman fights back, the doctor is angered and retaliates with his most insane, or perhaps kindest, cut of all. But the torment is not over, as the depravity continues.
