Carol (Linda Blair) is sent to prison for 18 months after accidentally hitting and killing a man with her car. This the kind of prison where the warden (John Vernon) has a hot tub in his office and tough Erika (Sybil Danning) falls for unattractive Blair. And there's the head of guards--Stella Stevens chewing the scenery. Ah the 80s! When sleaze like this was released by major companies and actually played in mainstream theateres! There's the expected shower sequence, lesbianism, murder, rape, drug abuse and tons of swearing. It also has some of the most hysterically bad dialogue I've ever heard in a movie--even for a WIP flick! (Example: Don't walk away from me you chalk-faced whore!) Now this isn't a good movie at all but, in a silly way, it IS fun! It never stops moving and gleefully hits every single cliché straight on. Blair is terrible in this but Stevens, Danning, Sharon Hughes as Val and the wonderful Tamara Dobson as Duchess are just great. Stupid, sleazy and LOADS of fun! I give it a 6. Trivia: For completists--A hook murder has pretty obviously been edited out and I heard a scene where Vernon rapes Blair is missing too.
