Women's Prison Massacre

Ken Tasho READ TIME: 1 MIN.

From the screenplay writer of the 'Best Worst Movie' ever, "Troll 2," comes a grindhouse exploitation flick from the past on Blu-ray for the first time.

What will you get from viewing Bruno Mattei's ("Cruel Jaws") 1983 "Women's Prison Massacre?" There's a plethora of horrid acting and an even worse convoluted screenplay.

Also on board with Shout Factory's high-definition feature film:

- Some of the worst Italian to English dubbing ever to grace the silver screen.
- A screenplay featuring both a women's prison exploitation film imbedded with a nonsensical prison hostage takeover film.
- Lots and lots of full frontal female nudity.
- Ladies beating the bejesus out of each other.
- The dreaded prison rape sequence.

The most perplexing item regarding "Women's Prison Massacre" has to be the character of Emmanuelle and how the film was marketed as another installment of the soft-core porn "Black Emmanuelle" series. Not only is her character underused, actress Laura Gemser keeps her clothes on for the first time in the series. You'll get no complaints from me in that department.

Fans may also feel slightly exploited at Scream Factory's Blu-ray: there isn't a single solitary bonus feature to be had. Unless you're a true, long-time fanatic of "Women's Prison Massacre," pass on this release.
