Freeze Me (フリーズ・ミー Furiizu Mii?), or Freezer, is a 2000 Japanese film by director Takashi Ishii. This film stars Harumi Inoue as Chihiro, a rape victim who tries to live a normal life, only to be visited several years later by the three rapists in her apartment and raped again.

Chihiro systematically kills the three men, freezing their bodies in commercial, restaurant-sized freezers she buys. At the end, when her ex-boyfriend visits her -- he had abandoned her after the rape -- she kills him as well, taking vengeance on the four men who had raped and betrayed her. She then vanishes in a blaze of lightning and thunder as the film ends.
