Nikkatsu on Blu-ray?? Fairy in a Cage and more coming this March from Impulse Pictures!!

A double-knotted chalkboard-scratching double feature from the masterminds of Nikkatsu!

During World War II, the tyrannical Judge Murayama uses his military power to imprison and torture innocent people.  Suspected of helping an anti-government movement, the lovely Namiji Kikushima (Naomi Tani) is captured, along with a local kabuki actor.  Helpless and unable to escape, the two are subjected to a grueling series of tortures including rope bondage and physical assault.  As the Judge and his evil assistant Kayo revel in their perverse fetishes, a new military recruit they’ve hired may be the key to prisoners’ freedom.  He loves Namiji and will do what he can to help her, even if it means betrayal to organize an escape!

Impulse Pictures is proud to present FAIRY IN A CAGE, one of the most controversial films of 1970’s Japanese cinema, in a brand-new high-definition transfer taken from the original 35mm camera negative.

In FEMALE TEACHER: IN FRONT OF THE STUDENTS, the lovely Reiko has taken a new teaching job at a creepy old high school.  She is an extremely attractive woman and the young students in her class have fallen for her.  One night, after tennis practice, she is brutally assaulted in the locker room shower by a man with a stocking over his face.  Left on the floor naked and in shock, she discovers a single puzzle piece left behind by the crazed man.  A few days later, a pair of students enact a perverted sexual revenge on Reiko for kicking someone off the tennis team.  Could one of these students be the man who brutalized her in the locker room?  Who owns the strange puzzle piece?  As the mystery unfolds, Reiko must come to terms with her own sexual urges and fate.
     With shocking scenes of torture and violence, including a shower assault that clocks in at almost four minutes, FEMALE TEACHER: IN FRONT OF THE STUDENTS is one of the more unforgiving and jaw-dropping films in Impulse Pictures’ “Nikkatsu Erotic Films Collection.”
