SELLEST OSAST
Well it couldn’t stay fun for long. On the flip side of the silly splattery slapstick, the movie monsters, fake blood and prosthetics…this. The first true 'exploitation' in our 'exploration'.
A nasty little exercise in soft core women-in-prison unpleasantness, the movie that launched the thankfully short-lived nazisploitation trend, from the director of Mondo Bizarro, Love Is A 4 Letter Word and Hollywood’s World Of Flesh. This early effort virtually created this unpleasant Women In Prison genre of exploitation picture, whihc brought us 1971s Women in Cages and 72s The Big Bird Cage both giving the world an early glimpse of the legendary Pam “Foxy Brown” Grier.
WHO are the two brave women sent to enemy territory to be picked up and imprisoned?
WHAT is the weapons-grade secret they have been sent to retrieve from poor Martha Grossman?
HAS this entire piece of nonsense really been shot on one cardboard set over a weekend?
HOW MANY times can they claim this is a true story shot on location when it clearly is snuffy titillating drivel knocked up by a bored theatre group?
HONESTLY - the German Shepherd is the only watchable thing in it. And he still looks like a wrong ‘un.
God bless the BBFC who got rid of this forever. If you want to know how and why, join me for an adults only edition of Lets Get The Banned Back Together – Episode 5. LOVE CAMP 7
