Freeze Me (2000)


FREEZE ME  (2000)  ¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Takashi Ishii

A young woman moves to Tokyo after being gang-raped. Five years later, her attackers track her down and come back for more. She disposes of them one by one, and puts the bodies in cold storage in industrial-sized freezers in her apartment. A deranged Japanese thriller, funny in a real dark way, like some creepy, dreamy Hitchcock version of "I Spit On Your Grave". The people I saw it with thought the woman jumped off the balcony at the end, but I'd like to think she ran off to Europe and lived happily ever after as a technical assistant on Lucio Fulci movies. It's the romantic in me.
