A LIVING HELL is a masterpiece of modern Japanese horror. The film could be best described as "The Japanese Chainsaw Massacre", with the same claustrophobic suspense, intensity and depraved family rituals.

Not for the squeamish !

When two more distant family members come live in the house, Yasu's suffering really begins. The old woman and her mute granddaughter torture poor Yasu when the others aren't at home.
