Jigoku (1960) by Nobuo Nakagawa
aka: The sinners of hell

All sinners on earth will regret one day, when their long and well hidden secrets are to be revealed and mercilessly punished in no darker place than hell. And this is for sure: You cannot hide anything, not the tiniest and most unconsiderable looking sin, from Lord Emna, god of the eight gates of hellish repetitive torture. Unfortunately for some people, like slightly apathic Shiro (Shigeru Amachi), hell seems to start already on earth, as he can’t help resigning and lets evilness rule his tragic and rather unlucky destiny.

Non ho sonno (2001) by Dario Argento
aka: Sleepless

E’ arrivata mezzanotte
con il letto faccio a botte
ora inizia la mia guerra con le bestie della terra.
Una del mattino
Il fattore è felice come un bambino
Sgozza il maiale più bello
E si libera del primo fardello
Due del mattino
Ora tocca al gallo
Usa bene il suo strumento
per la morte è un godimento
Tre del mattino
Il fattore strangola il pulcino
“l’insonnia mi tormenta!”
Si rigira nel letto e si lamenta.
Quattro del mattino
ha acchiappato un gattino
ma poiché l’ha graffiato
nell’acqua gelata l’ha affogato.
Cinque del mattino
Il fattore è nel giardino
Accarezza il coniglietto
Poi lo sbatte al muro per diletto
Sei del mattino
Al cigno più carino
il fattore ha tagliato la testa
ormai nessun nemico gli resta.
Ecco arriva il nuovo giorno
Il fattore si leva di torno
Le sue armi può posare
E finalmente può dormire.

Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense:
Child’s Play (1986) by Val Guest

Being locked up in a room can cause panic. But being completely surrounded by an undestroyable wall, which over night rose around your entire house without your knowledge, and which prohibits every single possibility of air, light and escape, is more than a threat, and you might start to notice and question things, you weren’t aware for your whole life. Who is my child? Who is my husband? Who am I?

————————————————
The entity (1981) Sidney J. Furie

When Carla (Barabara Hershey) gets beaten and raped by an invisible stalker, nobody doubts on her mental debility. The stronger she insists on the nasty existence the more obvious it gets in the eyes of the psychologists. A case for the asylum. But she won’t give up, nor does her invisible enemy.
