I’ve had a copy of Woman in a Box – directed by the reasonably infamous Masaru Konuma and written by Kazuo ‘Gaira’ Komizu, director Entrails of a Virgin (1986) and its pseudo-sequels – lying around unwatched for a while now. I have not watched this partly because of a lack of subtitles, but mostly because of its extremely unsettling poster art. Honestly, this poster really puts me on edge. It’s just so damn sleazy and evil. I’m not sure what gives it this effect – other than the fact that it features a woman chained up in a box – but yes, it really creeps me the fuck out.
