Uncommon card · No. 147784

Jigoku (地獄; Japanese: [d͡ʑiɡo̞kɯ̟]; "Hell"), also titled The Sinners of Hell, is a 1960 Japanese horror film directed by Nobuo Nakagawa and produced by Shintoho. The film stars Shigeru Amachi, Utako Mitsuya, and Yōichi Numata, and is notable for separating itself from other Japanese horror films of the era such as Kwaidan or Onibaba due to its graphic imagery of torment in Hell. It has gained a cult film status. Shintoho declared bankruptcy in 1961, its last production being Jigoku. In 1979, acclaimed Nikkatsu director Tatsumi Kumashiro remade Jigoku for Toei, starring Mieko Harada. This version has a theme song, "Kokoro dake Aishite" (心だけ愛して), performed by Hako Yamasaki.
