The Sinners Of Hell - 1960 - 6/10
AKA - Jigoku // 地獄

Shimizu and Tamura are returning home after visiting with Yukiko and her parents.
A drunk staggers in front of their car, Tamura runs him down and drives on.
Turns out he was just a low level Yakuza. Now dead. Who cares?
Witnesses? The thug’s mom, who, along with his girlfriend, swear murderous revenge.
Guilt ridden Shimizu wants to go to the police, but his girlfriend, a little pregnant tries to dissuade.
The movie is stuffed with crimes: lying, theft, adultery, covetousness, you name it.
And everyone – everyone – is going to hell.

No forgiveness, no atonement, no confession.
One moral error or crime, and boom, you are damned.
The final third of the film is set in a dizzying parade of torture and punishment.
