Another OK Nikkatsu Pinky Joint...
19 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
FAIRY IN A CAGE is a decent but pretty hollow pinky entry from Nikkatsu studios - who for me, are pretty hit-or-miss with their violent-pink and roman-porn films in terms of entertainment level. Some tend to be really well-done and engaging - others are relatively dull and uninspired. Though none of the pinky films I've ever seen are truly terrible, as they all deal with subject matter near-and-dear to me film-wise (typically rape, sadistic violence, torture, etc...) - but I also like a "strong" story-line and some of these films have it - some don't. FAIRY IN A CAGE is a bit weak story-wise to me (compared to some of the better entries) and this knocked it down quite a bit for me...

Corrupt government Officials use their power and status to interrogate (mostly) female prisoners in "interesting" ways. The main story of the film focuses on one Official's fixation on a particular young lady, and the guy that he accuses her of helping to fund treasonous activities...

Again, the story-line in FAIRY is pretty threadbare, and is mainly there as an excuse to show various rope-bondage and humiliation scenarios. This would be OK, except the scenes aren't all that great. I would say that if you are a hardcore pinky fan, to give this one a shot - otherwise I would recommend better entries like ASSAULT! JACK THE RIPPER, STAR OF David (aka BEAUTIFUL GIRL HUNTER), or for better violent rape material (but also kinda weak on story) FEMALE MARKET: IMPRISONMENT. If Japanese rope-bondage is your thing - try the 2004 version of HANA TO HEBI (aka FLOWER AND SNAKE). FAIRY IN A CAGE is worth a look to the serious genre fan - just don't get your hopes up too high...6.5/10
