Two stories set in Edo during the Shogun era. During a time when Christians are persecuted vehemently, Iori falls in love with young Christian girl. When she and her family are captured during a raid, his sadistic master takes her as her personal slave to torment him, and tries breaking her spirit by means of torture. After Iori refuses to participate any longer he is exiled, but vows to get her back.
It's ok to feel uneasy while Shogun's Sadism (a.k.a. The Joy of Torture 2: Oxen Split Torturing). It's a graphic and shocking portrayal of how a sadistic shogun treats his prisoners as meat. We're constantly being shown the rape and torture these poor people has to suffer through, and there's no happy endings for anyone it seems.
Recommended for those who enjoys torture flicks, and not for those who, well, don't want their entire evening ruined. It may sound like I'm bashing it but I'm really not. The pure simplicity of its content is probably what speaks to me, and there seem to always come times when I'm in the mood for something this crazy.
