Perverted Criminal

Perverted Criminal , Hentaima? , or Abnormal Criminal, is a 1967 Japanese pink film directed by Kji Seki. It was the first 3D film produced in Japan, and, according to Allmovie, the worlds first 3D sex film.

On a technical level, Perverted Criminal is notable for being Japans first 3D film. Allmovie writes that it was also the first 3D sex film in the world, however, in the chapter Sexploitation Films in the book Incredibly Strange Films, Jim Morton writes that Jack H. Harris, producer of The Blob 1958, made the first 3D sexploitation film with Paradisio 1962. Perverted Criminal was shot in the partcolor format common with pink films of this period, with only a few scenes shot in color. In the case of Perverted Criminal, rather than sex scenes, it is the murder scenes, coupled with the 3D effects, which are given the lurid emphasis of color.In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia The Sex Films, Thomas and Yuko Mihara Weisser compare Perverted Criminal to later 3D sex films such as The Stewardesses 1969, and describe Perverted Criminal as a considerably more violent and sleazy venture than any of the international 3D erotica which followed. Allmovie also judges the film a gruesome affair and a sordid sleazefest. ........
