EMBRYO HUNTS IN SECRET is the earliest example of film Ive seen so far that paves the way for the explicit and violent pinku films that Japan churned out in record numbers just a few years later, and are still quite known for to this day. Thats not to say that this is the first Japanese film to show strong exploitative elements - its just the earliest example that Ive personally seen. Wtfdvds release is Japanese language only, so any speculations that I make about the plot are just that - speculation... The film surrounds a man and his wife (girlfriend, lover..dont really know for sure...) who have a strange nurturing/violent relationship. At some points they seem like your typical happy couple, especially in the beginning of the film, but as the story goes on, the man binds and continuously beats, whips, and humiliates her. There are some strange flashbacks that happen throughout the film which appear to be from the past, and show another couple where the man beats and whips the woman in much the same fashion. Due to how the flashbacks were inserted, I got the feeling that maybe they were scenes from the main characters past - perhaps his father and mother - which would help explain his penchant for spousal abuse...but again, this is strictly conjecture. The odd mix of violence and tenderness goes on for most of the running time of the film, until the wife gets free and gets even... Unfortunately, I didnt understand enough of what was going on in EMBRYO HUNTS IN SECRET to get a real grasp on the storyline. It is a haunting film that may have been even better if Id have understood the characters motivations - but as it is, its pretty much a bunch of scenes of a guy beating his significant other. Cinematography-wise, the film appears to be pretty ahead of its time with good editing, and some effective art-house style scenes. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone interested in the origins of Japanese exploitation cinema. EMBRYO is not as strong in terms of violent content as many of the exploit films that came out of Japan in the 70s through today, but it is still an interesting early foray into the genre. It will also be of interest for those that know of Koji Wakamatsu and his extensive catalog of pinku films, including GO GO SECOND TIME VIRGIN, and VIOLATED ANGELS (also VERY good films - both also available from Wtfdvds.com). Definitely worth a look to pinku fans interested in the precursors to the genre.
