Most horror fans know Amy Steel as the feisty Final Girl Ginny from Friday the 13th Part 2. Two years after leaving an impression on moviegoers, she migrated to the small screen for Women of San Quentin. This is a different kind of Women in Prison movie. Instead of the women being inmates, they’re the guards ( Read more... )

Love Camp 7 was the first Naziploitation movie. Being the first of its kind, it seems relatively tame in comparison to what came later. You can tell they hadn’t worked all the bugs out yet. Still, it delivers enough exploitation goods to make it rank slightly higher than a mere curiosity piece ( Read more... )

Linda Haynes stars as a country singer in the midst of a tour. Aldo Ray is a sleazy promoter who swindles her out of her fee and gets away with it because his brother (Jackie Coogan) just so happens to be the sheriff (and Uncle Fester).

You expect certain things from a Jess Franco Women in Prison movie. Barbed Wire Dolls pretty much delivers in that regard. There are long stretches where the camera zooms around aimlessly. There are long scenes of naked women being tortured. There’s a gratuitous Franco cameo. There’s a scene where a woman rubs her pussy with a cigarette ( Read more... )

A concerned social worker (Charlotte Adams) tries to get to the bottom of it, but the head doctor, Murdock (Victor Jory) doesn’t like her snooping around, so he has her replaced by a new psychiatrist (William Hudson from Attack of the 50 Foot Woman). He thinks ( Read more... )

Sharkansas Women’s Prison Massacre. Just saying the title of this movie is enough to put a smile on your face. In the great tradition of the drive-in days of old, I’m sure co-writer/director Jim (Chopping Mall) Wynorski worked backwards; coming up with the title first and writing the movie second. The problem is that although the film is fun, it ( Read more... )

Chain Gang Girls is one of those new school Japanese Women in Prison movies that’s shot on cheap looking digital video. In some scenes, I swear it looks like someone filmed it on their dang cellphone. Even if it did have high-end production values, I’m not exactly sure it would’ve made much of a difference. I’m not saying it bad or anything, it’ ( Read more... )

Female Prisoner #701 Scorpion: Beast Stable is the third film in the Female Prisoner #701 saga. It starts off with an orgy of violence and lurid sex that is so awesome that you can almost forgive the rest of the film for not living up to its initial promise. Almost ( Read more... )

Up-and-coming songwriter Missy Crider visits a loudmouth record producer (Jon Polito) and leaves him her song, “Endless Sleep”. That night, he is murdered, Missy is blamed, and she is sent to prison.
