If you loved The Warped Ones, try I Am Waiting
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Warped Ones, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What I Am Waiting is
Yokosuka. Night. A lone neon sign sputters. Ex-pug reluctantly drawn into a demimonde: a hostess, a gangster's moll. She yearns to flee the yakuza's grasp. He is her only option. An early, brutal Nikkatsu Noir.
