Detenute violente

What can I add to previous reviews? Not much. Plenty of lesbian action in this soft-core porn flick. Probably considered shocking at the time, but pretty mild by today's standards. (The most shocking thing will probably be the unshaved armpits and the full bushes.) On the other hand, it delivers all the required WIP scenes. It would have been nice if they had been able to afford some good-looking women, but you can't have everything. At least you aren't seeing a lot of silicone.

Perhaps the most irritating aspect of the film is the music score, which is wildly inappropriate at times.

Favorite quote: "Please find out immediately who told the governor I was torturing (blank)."

Recommended only for those people who HAVE to see every WIP flick.

This is a mediocre outing into the WIP genre which tries to incorporate every cliché in the book- and then jumbles them together in a dull, inept and amateur way. Yes, you have a lesbian guard, shower scenes, cat fights and some mild abuse, but it is all too formulaic to be interesting. I love WIP flicks- but this just had me bored.

The prison seems to be a downmarket Italian language school, and the warders dress like hospital orderlies. Moderate nudity provided by Anjita Wilson and a couple of others. The violence is all a bit ham. Music is abysmal and leaves the whole film lame. If you are going to paint by numbers, then give it some edge- but this has all the edge of a kid's marble. For completest only.

Women-In-Prison movies at their best can be either serious or fun, but this terrible film is neither. It is....nothing. It just sits there, never doing anything exciting. Incompetence and cheapness are obvious in almost every frame - the climactic prison "riot" is represented by a couple of off-screen shotgun shots. It's really unerotic too - as I've said before, explicitness (which is certainly present here) does NOT equal eroticism if there is no proper buildup. The heroine spends the entire movie seeking "the truth" about her sister's death - a truth the viewer knows right from the start. Simply put, this film is an endurance test for even the most die-hard WIP fanatics. (*)

Wow. Just wow. What we have here, ladies and gentlemen is a true piece of subversive cinema. It may look like a film, it may smell like a film, but what it is, in essence, is a soft-core porno.

Forget the nonsense on the back of the box about the plot. Alright I'll brief you on it: a woman infiltrates a prison disguised as an inmate to find the only witness to her sister's murder. Yadda yadda yadda. Pure window dressing.

You can skip all the badly dubbed English and the terrible music.. just stick it on mute, close the curtains and hit fast forward to the nudie bits. And believe me, you'll never have long to wait between scenes. There's lesbianism, sado-masochism, intimately detailed showers.. and if you're really boring just straight-out sex.

It's just a shame so many of the women are ugly, but hey.. I guess the director couldn't afford Playboy's finest on his budget of 2p, a button and half a pack of Spearmint Polos, so that's okay. Just try to imagine them with the head of Angelina Jolie.

Oops, I've probably spent too long talking.. you probably want to get started!! I'll leave you to it, and get back to reviewing the real films!! Have fun!! 0/10

Anyone who has given this trash more than a 3, I really feel sorry for you. What's sad about this corrupt prison exploitation flick, which joins all those others, dubbed or not, was this vehicle, had quite a good plot, which if properly approached, wouldn't of come off as not a bad pic. 'But no', we're going for that same T and A, + lesbianism, and some ugly blood slashing pic. The acting is so unbelievably bad, and wooden, like those road posts you see in Sydney. Even some of the actor's movements, if reacting, in some scenes, aren't believable, and seem weird. Some of the actors hardly register any emotion. Hadn't they haven't been to an acting class? Sadly, there is a tragic moment for our heroine, infilltating this dirty stank prison, in a grand avengement. This is the redeeming feature, and I must say, I was truly heartbroken (satrical). AKA: fittingly known as Hell Penitentiary Great video cover though. Don't be deceived.
