![]() ![]() As I said though, it’s a sexually charged but harmless, in-your-face kind of movie. Although I suspect that if there really are any subtle nuances in the plot they are lost in the ham-fisted approach of its upkeep. The storyline, much like the girl’s flexible bodies, bends this way and that way, and it’s hard to keep up. She falls for one of the girls and ends up letting her get away with murder. ![]() She’s a bit like a cross between Carry On’s Barbara Windsor and Baby Jane Hudson, with her plastered on surprised face and dramatic sing-song hand gestures. In an effort to get to the bottom of the stabbing, Sylvia has the prison searched for weapons and it is at this point that in walks the lovable yet demented Nurse Barbara. They jump round, laugh and act jovial, looking as though they’re having so much fun! That’s what most of my showers are like so I don’t see what they were so excited about. This small detail unwittingly leads to what seems to be the director’s favourite scene later the ladies are being treated to a group shower. As punishment for their violent outburst and the killing one of their fellow prisoners they are not allowed to have a shower. ![]() A riot ensues, causing some of their prison uniforms to fall to the ground in the scuffle. You see, in an attempt to prevent the women from hiding drugs and weapons about their person they are not allowed to wear underwear. We enter the story with the almost feral prisoners scrabbling around the exercise yard having a knife fight. Sylvia, the prison warden, has taken over the asylum and is using the young impressionable inmates to satisfy her own despicable needs: girls are being sold to rich middle-aged lesbians and the staff is getting it on left right and centre. In true porn style this Brazilian (ahem) sexploitation flick presents a what-you-see-is-what-you-get attitude. And that’s not just me being sexist, they really are. We are lead to believe, from the cover blurb, that this group of scantily clad women are living in fear for their lives under their guard’s reign of terror, but actually they are loving every minute of their captivity.
