Scent of a Spell Blu-ray Third Window Films Japanese Toshiharu Ikeda Nikkatsu

Another erotic thriller from Evil Dead Trap director Toshiharu Ikeda!

Introducing Third Window Films' Blu-ray (Region B) release for Scent of a Spell, a 1985 Nikkatsu Roman Porno and Directors Company collaboration between director Toshiharu Ikeda (Mermaid Legend) and writer Takashi Ishii (Love Hotel).

While a young man (Johnny Okura) is on his way home from a bar in a torrential downpour, he comes across a woman (Mari Amachi) trying to kill herself by jumping off a bridge. Without thinking, he jumps in to rescue her and save her from drowning. After taking her to his home, he learns that she’s escaped from a violent husband whom he decides to try and protect her from. He starts to fall for her, but finds out that there’s more to her story than she’s willing to tell at first.

Part of the ‘Directors Company Collection’ – a series of films from the legendary 1980s Japanese production company, all presented with brand new digital restorations and in collector packaging each with inserts on the company by historian Jasper Sharp.
