Masaki Ran looks pretty good

[ebiros2 · 4/10 · 6 June 2011]

This is one of Nikkatsu's Roman Poruno (Porn) series movies. This was as explicit as they can go in sexual expression on movies in the '80s Japan. Now this movie is available in region 2 DVD as is many of Nikkatsu's Roman Poruno series movies.

Ran Masaki plays the role of a beautiful (and I'd say she really is beautiful) school teacher who is recruited by another teacher played by Izumi Shima. Not knowing that she's really walking into a trap, she starts her new career at a high school in a remote mountain town. Soon she gets involved to save a girl student who got captured by delinquent male students. She is challenged to fight a kendo (Japanese sword fighting) match with one of the student while wearing nothing under her protective gear. Not knowing that she's being captured on a video, she gets gang raped by the boys. Next day, she's invited to the house of the girl that she tried to rescue. This was the beginning of the real trap. Soon she's drugged, and is captured in a torture chamber, designed to give sexual abuse.

This is one of many Oniroku Dan's SM movies that Nikkatsu produced at somewhat regular intervals. Frontal nude was illegal in Japan back then, so there are no really hard core sexual scenes in this movie. These days, this movie is not even categorized under "Adult Video" in the Japanese video sites. Things really changed in 25 years. Where they lacked in explicit expression, they've made up in quality production, and many of the Roman Poruno series movies really has good plot and acting featuring good actors.

Watch it for Ran Masaki's debut performance for Nikkatsu. She really looks good.

beautiful hell

[trashgang · 6/10 · 17 March 2009]

This is one of those much sought after pinku torture ones. It's almost unfindable and it clocks in at 65 minutes (my version). You can't notice that this film is already more then 20 years old, the photography is sublime and the acting is also well done. It's all about revenge but halfway the movie the revenge has gone into bondage and rape to make the beautiful teacher suffer for her prides and her beauty, they will make her a whore. Strange for Japanese films is always the fact that they blur the private parts. You can torture someone full screen but private parts, oh no. In this movie the blurring isn't annoying. Some scene's made me think of Entrails Of A Virgin although that one is more explicit. Anyway, weird that Beautiful Teacher isn't available anymore, try to catch a copy.

Pretty Original Pinku Sleaze-Fest...

[EVOL666 · 7/10 · 4 October 2006]

BEAUTIFUL TEACHER IN TORTURE HELL is a fun and sleazy romp that brings a little more originality in terms of storyline to the table than the average pinku torture-fest. The concept is decent with a few twists, though towards the middle of the film, it reverts back into the normal bondage-type material that is so prevalent in the genre...

A new teacher is brought to a school where she is bullied and raped by some local toughs. When the teacher saves the school director's grand-daughter from some abuse at the hands of the bullies, the director invites her over for dinner as a "thank-you". Turns out, he's actually the mastermind of a ring that abuses new teachers and turns them into sex-slaves. The ring includes not only the director, but other teachers, the bullies, and even the janitor...

The first half of BEAUTIFUL TEACHER IN TORTURE HELL is pretty original and plays out almost as a sleazy mystery - until we find out exactly what's going on - and then we get the requisite tortures at the hands of the school director and others. Basic rape/bondage material on display with none of the scenes being extremely noteworthy. One scene where the teacher is enemized then forced to sit in an aquarium until she "releases" is kinda novel. The strength of BEAUTIFUL TEACHER is in the first half as the audience doesn't know the depth of the school's corruption. Not an outstanding film - but definitely entertaining and worth a look to the genre fan...7.5/10

Great cult erotic Japanese movie

[mepranod · 7/10 · 30 March 2015]

Firstly i watch movie with no expectation but after watching this movie i was thrilled.What a grate cult movie.If you like erotic movies with grate plot then this is for you.Director of this movie also done great job.But the main charm of this movie is Ran Masaki ,the beautiful teacher who was trapped by the principle of the school. Really after watching this movie i became fan of Ran Masaki.She is truly a beauty of japan.After watching this movie i nearly watched all her movies.This is Japanese cat III movie which contains lots of frontal nudity but it is not vulgar at all.Some bondage scene are intense but meaningful.Shooting of nude scene are very artistic.

In one word amazing erotic movie with extremely beautiful actress Ran Masaki.

Vastly entertaining pinku flick.

[HumanoidOfFlesh · 8/10 · 3 December 2006]

Ran Masaki plays a beautiful teacher who is transferred to a remote mountain school where she is gang-raped and abused by the male students.She is also turned into sex slave and subjected to sexual torture by bondage freaks.Masahito Segawa's "Beautiful Teacher in Torture Hell" is not as nasty as its lurid title suggests.Of course there is plenty of rape and sado-sexual violence,but the film never reaches the level of nastiness of "Captured for Sex 2" or "All Women Are Whores".The plot is interesting and offers some surprises and the acting is decent.All in all,if you are pinku eiga completist you can't miss it-just don't expect something totally depraved or disturbing.8 out of 10.

Torture hell for beautiful teacher.

[morrison-dylan-fan · 7/10 · 3 October 2019]

After watching 31 Japanese films in September 2019,I decided that I'd kick my Horror viewings for October off with a J-Horror. Digging into a pile of Japanese Horror,I found one with a swift run-time,that I've been meaning to play for years! This led to me meeting the beautiful teacher.

View on the film:

Getting tied up in the middle of the 80's when the Pinku genre had shifted to being glossy, debut director Masahito Segawa is joined by cinematographer Nobumasa Mizuno'o in taking Pinku back into the Grindhouse pit, via grime covered walls surrounding Morita, and jabbing panning shots at the fellow people at the school betraying Morita's trust.

For the stable rape sequences of the Pinku genre, Segawa interestingly appears divided over which way to take things, going between a psychological horror edge of the camera being carefully positioned to fill the frame with Morita's tortured face, and the expected eyeful of sleaze, that actually helps to thread a uneasy atmosphere reflecting the sharp shifts in terror Morita's is gripped with.

Taking one of Oniroku Dan's novels (a major inspiration on the genre) into torture hell,the screenplay by Toshimichi Saeki coils up a nicely cynical mystery, charged from Morita believing at first that she has saved a student from being attacked,only to learn that it was actually the first part in a twisted game.

Even as the movie visually gets packed with skin on show, the cynicism of Saeki's script is kept as the spine, which builds a terrific bitter picture of all those Morita has placed trusted in being utter scum, hitting a chillingly cryptic final note. Tied up and tied down,Nobutaka Masutomi gives a excellent performance as Morita, bringing out a expressive, never say die attitude within Morita, captured in the yelps and anguished face of the beautiful teacher in torture hell.

Strong performance buoys this potent pinku eiga

[fertilecelluloid · 8/10 · 5 August 2008]

Very impressive pinku eiga, buoyed by a strong lead performance from Ran Masaki. Invited to teach at a small, rural high school, Masaki runs into trouble immediately when the car she is traveling in is attacked by schoolboy rapists. Her companion, who has a questionable connection with one of the boys, is raped and mistreated. Masaki is treated to some fondling. She saves the day by pulling out her fencing foil and beating the bad boys into submission. Later on, she pays dearly for her act of courage. Based on a novel by Oniroku Dan, this is a grim, well directed tale boasting several very erotic interludes and some dark, disturbing revelations. The rural setting is a bonus, as is the fine photography and production design. A house and dungeon look suspiciously like the sets of Norifumi Suzuki's "Star of David - Beauty Hunting", also a Nikkatsu production. Unlike many films of this ilk, this one is reasonably well thought through and the motivations of its characters are strong, albeit corrupt. For connoisseurs of this genre, "Beautiful Teacher in Torture Hell" is just what the teacher might have ordered.
