Featured review
Does size matter?
First of all I did watch the unrated cut of this movie. I saw it under the title "Prison Island Massacre" and have to admit that I didn't exactly thought or knew where this was going before I watched it. I'm not offended by the Gore (some really good effects courtesy of Mr. Ittenbach), but I'm sure some people will be appalled by either that or the sexually charged theme running through the movie.
Then again the WIP movies (as in Women in Prison although some might argue that the movie itself could also be called a Work in Progress) are almost always about the sleaze, gore and nudity factor. And while Jess Franco and apparently one of his muses appear in the movie, the acting isn't something you will remember fondly. Unless you have a soft spot for non-acting (some might call it amateurish) approach that is. Overall too long, strange editing choices, but good effects, especially for the money that probably was involved.
