Powerful and disturbing - Freezer review by CP Customer
Freezer is a pretty unpleasant movie by anyone's standards. Unlike most western films that sugar coat their dread with phoney optimism; 'Freezer' is a grim, gritty and savage tale of a Tokyo office worker putting behind her the emotional scars of being viciously raped by three men five years ago. Just as she thinks her life is back on track her attackers track her down and blackmail her, playing on her fears that others might know of her hidden past. Director Takashi Ishii keeps the action going at a brisk pace and while you can always see where the story is heading it still manages a few surprises along the way.
