(English title: DRIFTNG INTO CHAOS) Female pinku director Sachi Hamano has constructed a rather unpleasant rape-revenge melodrama patterned after Western exploitation films like LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE and NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS, as well as similarly themed Japanese movies, such as SENKEYSU NO KIZUNA by Daisuke Yamanouchi. Two rather imbecilic young men roam the city streets looking for females to capture, while an enigmatic woman-in-black looks on, presumably encouraging them. The two women they kidnap are shuffled off to a remote house in the woods for non-stop rape and other humiliations, including sex with a wheelchair-bound maniac. The female "blank angel" participates in these nasty sex games too. Hamano takes the "captured for sex" dramatics further than most films of this type by making DRIFTING INTO CHAOS a full porno flick, though explicit scenes are rendered in pixelated, censored closeups of moving parts. The whole disorienting mess carries a certain compelling ugliness. Predictably, while the non-stop rapes are shot with great conviction, perfunctory scenes of the victims exacting murderous revenge on their captors are presented as after-thoughts.
