nihongo |"Violated Angels"|犯された白衣|Okasareta Hakui is a film made by controversial Japanese director Koji Wakamatsu in 1967. Wakamatsu's most famous film, [cite book |last=Weisser|first=Thomas|coauthors=Yuko Mihara Weisser|title=Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films|year=1998|publisher=Vital Books : Asian Cult Cinema Publications|location=Miami|isbn=1-88928-852-7|pages=p.499.] it is based on the mass murder spree of Richard Speck in 1966. [Weisser, p.101.]

Plot

A young man breaks into a nurses' rooming house and one-by-one kills off the nurses therein.In the tradition of Wakamatsu's other Pinku eiga(Pink Films), there is lots of sexuality and nudity. However most of the actual murders take place off screen.

Criticism

Like many films of this nature, "Violated Angels" was called anti-feminist and misogynistic. In "Film As A Subversive Art", a book on underground cinema, Amos Vogel praises Wakamatsu's artistic talent, yet pans the film for its "...anti-feminist sadism which is not based on any ideological explanation and finally contributes misanthropic flavour to his work."
