    Known in the UK as 'Freezer' this is an interesting Thriller, which I feel has a certain Hitchcock influence to it, reminders of Psycho and Rope came to mind at times.

    It really begs the question, what you would do in this desperate scenario?

    There is a certain amount of pr...( read more)edictability to it, but despite this it was an enjoyable revenge storyl.

    This movie is fucking retarded. Chihiro has to be one of the least sympathetic protagonists ever - she's a likeable girl at first, but she displays no common sense whatsoever. To say too much would spoil it, but in short: there are a million ways that she could get out of her pre...( read more)dicament and she does not act on ONE of them. She even goes so far as to shelter her antagonists for no reason! Who came up with this crap?

    The cinematography is uninspired, the twist ending is lame and the plot has no depth at all. Skip this one.

    Disturbing movie of a young woman who after being backed into a corner by her tormentors takes matters into her own hands.

    still unsure with this film as the end is very open but it's content is highly disturbing as you follow a rape victim who has to deal with the people who raped her. how you ask by killing them and stuffing them into freezer's!!

    It is no secret that Japan is able to come up with these whacked out stories. This rape-revenge thriller concept falls into this category, but director Takashi Ishii doesn't take advantage of it. We just end up with a disappointing thriller.

    You have a young woman who gets ra

    ...( read more)ped by 3 men, who then years later decide to do it again. So she decides to kill them and store their bodies in freezers. That sounds like it has some potential to entertain right? It is too bad that the film itself isn't as interesting as the plot. The biggest annoyance of this film is the main character, Chihiro. It's not the acting that is bad, but it is the character's decision making. It is because of this that you don't feel as bad as you should every time the rapists feel her up or penetrate her on multiple occasions.

    This film has a ton of nudity, which is fine. We have many a scene with Chihiro showing us her boobs. It is not only during the rape scenes either. This movie finds the time to get in a couple of normal sex scenes with her boyfriend in the middle of all of this. All the nudity may catch your attention, but in this film it feels like the scenes go on and on just so you can see her cleavage for just a few more minutes. I mean, how many times do I need to see her go into the shower? If I want to see a film with some story and a beautiful women strutting her stuff, then I will watch a soft core porn. This is not a soft core porn the last time I checked.

    The acting is OK. Harumi Inoue does a decent job with the lead and the 3 rapists are good. You really want to see them die.

    Unlike The Machine Girl, which takes the good guy killer story and runs with it, this one just takes a slow walk and doesn't really go anywhere.

    A twisted revenge flick which is both haunting and beautiful.

    Japanese horror is in a class of it's own. Freeze Me (It's also called Freezer) is a movie about revenge for a horrible crime happening some years prior to this story. For a while the female lead-character had my sympathy, but as the movie progressed she got herself into somethi...( read more)ng she couldn't get out of. Lot's of nudity in this flick, but not sleazy. This is not a movie for the faint-hearted.
