As a new fan of Koji Wakamatsu, I was really interested in checking out what seems to be his most well-known and controversial film outside of Japan, Violated Angels. Also of note is that the film was inspired by the Richard Speck murders, which happened just one year earlier. I can’t really think of many films that were made so quickly after tragedies like this, but Wakamatsu is definitely not one to shy away from controversy. While the film is effective in what it sets out to do, I find it pretty disheartening if this is indeed his most well-known film outside of Japan, as it unfortunately lacks the artistry that makes many of his other films more than just mere exploitation flicks.
