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. 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."

Availability
Toshiyuki Mizutani filmed Raped with Eyes: Daydream for director Banmei Takahashi's Takahashi Productions, and it was released theatrically in Japan by Shintōhō Eiga in September 1982.
