After my recent Hideo Jojo discoveries, I figured it was time to dive into his back catalog. I wasn't expecting too much, Jojo is one of those guys who started out by making pinku films, and that's exactly what you're getting here. Mixed with a tiny bit of horror, but hardly enough to turn this into a solid film.

The setup is decent and the siren mythology could've made for a decent horror, but Jojo is a bit too occupied with other things. The pinku scenes are bland, the performances are bad and the cinematography isn't all that. It's short and there are a few memorable moments, but this is nothing like his more recent work.
