Lustmord
1987, dir. Hisayasu Satô
Eiji (Yutaka Ikejima) is a lonely, nerdy teen who is obsessed with creating a serum capable of breaking down the barrier between pleasure and pain, much to the dismay of his research physician mother, Yuki (Kiyomi Itō). One day, Eiji decides to put his serum to the test by slipping it into the experimental tranquilizer that Yuki is planning to administer to three young woman as part of her own lab study, to horrifying results.
An early effort by legendary pink film director Hisuyasu Satô, Lustmord is a nightmarish meditation on the fusion of sex and death that was later remade into the notorious V-Cinema classic, Splatter: Naked Blood (1996).
