Hiroshi Chō

  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
The second film in Noboru Tanaka's "Showa Era Trilogy," WATCHER IN THE ATTIC is an adaption of a short story by seminal Japanese novelist Edogawa Rampo. Starring Junko Miyashita (the second "Queen" of Nikkatsu's Roman porno series) as Lady Minako, owner of a shabby boarding house in 1920s Tokyo, the film is a deviously grotesque and unapologetically voyeuristic tale of murder, deceit and forbidden love between the bizarre cast of characters living within it.   When one of the tenants, Goda (Renji Ishibashi), secretly witnesses Lady Minako perform a truly heinous act while spying on her through one of his attic peepholes, he is overcome with desire and begins plotting to kill a fellow tenant to demonstrate his love for her. Psychologically unbalanced, hauntingly atmospheric and ruthlessly erotic, Watcher in the Attic is a full-tilt descent into a carnal, gothic nightmare with an ending you won't soon forget.
