8/10
Takes me back to a bygone era
6 September 2005
Warning: Spoilers
While out jogging, Annie Morgan is abducted, taken to a dungeon, stripped to her panties while tied up, and sacrificed. Her sister. Larissa, goes to the police to help her find Annie, but only one seems willing to help. Their search takes them to the Mary Magdalen Halfway House for Troubled Girls, where Larrisa goes undercover. She meets the strict disciplinarian Father Fogerty, clashes with Angelina and her gang, runs afoul of Sister Cecelia whom is hiding dark secrets. This is just like a B-movie love song to grind-house films of the '70's and '80's. You have your women in prison film atmosphere, a return to trashy '80's schlockfests, throw in some HP Lovecraft, Andy Warhol find and B-movie mainstay Mary Woronov, rampant nudity, and cheap practical effects. And it's all just in the name of good kegger fun. All it's really missing is a cameo by the one and only Dick Miller.

My Grade: B+
