Women on cellblock 9
1977 - Director
Jess Franco
Staring Howard Vernon, Karin Gambier, Susan Hemingway, Nanda van Bergen
A group of female freedom-fighters led by Karine Levere is caught by the war-den of a women?s prison, located some-where in the South American jungle. None of them will reveal the secrets of their organisation or the names of their collaborators in the cities, so they are handed over to Dr. Costa who, after four years inactivity in Europe, is delighted to be able to practice his torture techniques once more.
Laverne fails to resist the inhuman treatments and reveals all. The only hope of saving the organization is for the girls to warn the city cell before it?s too late. They trick the prison guard into having sex with them, knock him out and break out of prison. The warden and Dr. Costa must prevent them from revealing the practices inside the prison. The hunt is on and it?s shoot to kill...
This movie is a bizarre mix of really sick stuff and camp humor. It would seem that even the most demented pervert could not think up the torture techniques displayed in this film, and there is plenty of blood. But the warden and the torture master are genuinely funny at times, playing their evilness like comic book villains. Some of the scenes are ridiculous and comical, and the music selection is at times very comical. This is a good thing, because it takes the edge off of the all of the hideous torturing going on. These Jess Franco movies are really something. This is a movie that I would recommend seeing at least once just so you're aware that movies like this actually exist.
