Raped with Eyes: Daydream (視姦白日夢, Shikan Hakujitsumu) is a 1982 Japanese pink film directed by Toshiyuki Mizutani.
Kazu is a man who indulges in daydream fantasies of sexual dalliances with women. As his fantasies become increasingly violent and even homicidal, neither he nor the film's audience is sure whether these are really harmless, if perverse, fantasies or if they are really happening.[2]

Background
Director Toshiyuki Mizutani's first film as was Lust Hunting: Office Lady Rape (also 1982), which Thomas and Yuko Mihara Weisser label a "wicked debut". For his interest in cinematic violence critics dubbed him "The Pink Demon". Raped with Eyes: Daydream is Mizutani's best-known work.[3] With this film, Mizutani added the elements of surrealism and fantasy which enabled him to distance himself and the audience from the on-screen mayhem and to add a further level of meaning to the scenario. The Weissers write, "The psychotic perspective of the film compensates for the offensive message."[2]
