ZOOM UP - RAPE SITE (aka SEXUAL ASSAULT SITE) became notorious because of Tom Weisser's review is his "Sex Films" book. It's doubtful he actually saw it, though, because it had not been released, at that time, on any home video format. I have the Japanese DVD, and though it does feature a Weisser-highlighted scene of a light bulb crushed inside a woman's vagina, the scene is not terribly graphic. The film, which takes place mostly inside an abandoned building, is a good one, and sits on the more extreme end of the spectrum, although it's not as aesthetically rich as many other Nikkatsu efforts or as extreme as WOMAN OF GTHE AFTERNOON - INCITE, WHITE ROSE CAMPUS..., RAPING!, SEX HUNTER or even non-Nikkatsu flicks such as Wakamatsu's THE RAPEMAN or Yojiro Takita's THE SERIAL RAPE-MURDERER.
SEX/RAPE APARTMENTS certainly got praised on some sub-sections of imdb, but, aside from this forum and a similar one, conversations about it and others of note have been strangely silent.
If you want recommendations of other Impulse/English-subbed Nikkatsu releases, try SEX HUNTER, FEMALE TEACHER HUNTING, SEX HUNTER-WET TARGET, WHITE ROSE CAMPUS, TRUE STORY OF A WOMAN IN JAIL (both films), ZOOM IN SEX APARTMENTS, and FAIRY IN A CAGE.
Beyond Impulse, get a hold of ASSAULT JACK THE RIPPER (MM), BEAUTIFUL GIRL HUNTER (Discotek Media, but coming soon again from Impulse).

I also recommend LOVE HOTEL, SECRET CHRONICLE SHE BEAST MARKET, WOMAN OF THE AFTERNOON - INCITE!, LIFE AND DEATH OF A HOUSEWIFE.
