68 minutes / Color / AR: 1.85:1

This is the second release from newcomers Vinegar Syndrome. I'm working on a review of this one, though I am struggling a bit with it, only because I don't really watch erotic stuff very often. I'm a bit out of my element with this one. It's a solid presentation of two lost Anthony Spinelli films from 1977, so fans of 70's porn will definitely want to add it to their collection. Order from Vinegar Syndrome. Or Barnes & Noble Amazon Diabolik TLA DVD Empire.

The Savage Water/Death By Invitation DVD that I reviewed here was also supposed to come out today, but the source from which they licensed SAVAGE WATER did not have proper rights to it so that release has been canceled. They've been in contact with director Paul Kener, so they are working on getting a director apporved version prepared for future release. Death By Invitation is now coming in May and will be paired up with Dungeon of Harrow which looks pretty rad, so I'm looking forward to checking that out in a couple months.

Synopsis

The lovely Reiko has taken a new teaching job at a creepy old high school.  She is an extremely attractive woman and the young students in her class have fallen for her.  One night, after tennis practice, she is brutally assaulted in the locker room shower by a man with a stocking over his face.  Left on the floor naked and in shock, she discovers a single puzzle piece left behind by the crazed man.  A few days later, a pair of students enact a perverted sexual revenge on Reiko for kicking someone off the tennis team.  Could one of these students be the man who brutalized her in the locker room?  Who owns the strange puzzle piece?  As the mystery unfolds, Reiko must come to terms with her own sexual urges and fate.
With shocking scenes of torture and violence, including a shower assault that clocks in at almost four minutes, FEMALE TEACHER: IN FRONT OF THE STUDENTS is one of the more unforgiving and jaw-dropping films in Impulse Pictures’ “Nikkatsu Erotic Films Collection.”

During World War II, the tyrannical Judge Murayama uses his military power to imprison and torture innocent people.  Suspected of helping an anti-government movement, the lovely Namiji Kikushima (Naomi Tani) is captured, along with a local kabuki actor.  Helpless and unable to escape, the two are subjected to a grueling series of tortures including rope bondage and physical assault.  As the Judge and his evil assistant Kayo revel in their perverse fetishes, a new military recruit they’ve hired named Taoka may be the key to prisoners’ freedom.  He loves Namiji and will do what he can to help her, even if it means betrayal to organize an escape!
