Five years ago, Chihiro (Marumi Inoue) was gangraped by a threesome of
guys from her hometown.
But now, that all seems to be behind her, she has moved to Tokyo, has a
good job at a bank and is engaged to marry Nogami (Shunusuke Matsuoka) -
when rather out of the blue, she finds Hirokawa (Kazuki Kitamura), one of
her rapists, on her doorstep - and he immediately wants to continue where
he left off, and soon enough he has forced her into sexual submission, has
moved into her appartment, and has seen to it that she loses her job and
Nogami breaks up with her. And he announces that her other two rapists
will join him shortly for a foursome ... when she hits him over the head
repeatedly and kills him.
The next day, Kojimo (Shingo Tsurumi) shows up on Chihiro's doorstep,
also one of her rapists. He is at first all apologetic, and asks for her
forgiveness and everything, but unfortunately he is also an alcoholic, and
under the influence, his mask begins to slip and he tries to rape her as
well ... but eventually, he takes a peek into Chihiro's fridge and much to
his shock finds dead Hirokawa - and he is hit on the head with a hammer by
Chihiro.
Now Chihiro finds herself burdened with two corpses, so she buys two
big freezers to store the corpses in and keep them from rotting ... when
one day her third rapist, the violent Baba (Naoto Takenaka) shows up on
her doorstep as well, and soon enough he has raped her and forced her into
submission as well - or so he thinks, because Chihiro already orders a
third freezer while he is still alive and waits for it to be delivered
before she carefully prepares to kill him without making too much of a
mess - and before long, Baba is a goner too.
Thing is, when Chihiro connects the third freezer to the power supply,
a fuse blows, and she has to realize she can only connect all three
freezers to power if she does use no surplus power at all - which she
pretty much has no choice but to do since she doesn't want the corpses to
rot, naturally.
Then Nogami stops by to apologize that he treated her like dirt (he has
since learned that Chihiro was raped 5 years ago), and Chihiro couldn't be
happier, and they have sex and everything ... but unfortunately, to not
make Nogami suspicious about the lack of power in the appartment, Chihiro
had to unplug one of the fridges to at least have light and warm water and
stuff ... but pretty soon, the corpse in the powerless fridge starts to
smell, so much so that Nogami tries to figure out the source of the smell
- and finds a decomposing corpse in his girlfriend's living room ... which
causes Chihiro, out of despair, to kill him too ...
A very mean and utterly macabre little film that for some reason never
attracted the same attention as the more conventional Black Angel
and Gonin which director Takashi Ishii made at approximately the
same time - but in fact, Freezer is the much more interesting film,
a at times disturbing mix of claustrophobic rape'n'revenge drama and very
black comedy that amanges to switch back and forward between the genres
rather at will without coming across as directionless.
Definitely recommended.
