One of notorious Eurosleaze auteur Jess Franco and producer Erwin C. Dietrich's most shocking films,1976's Barbed Wire Dolls is the ultimate unholy “Women-in-Prison” exploitation opus. In it, Franco favorite and lifelong muse Lina Romay (Doriana Gray, Rolls Royce Baby) stars as the wide-eyed Maria, an unfortunate young woman who kills her father (played by Franco in a delirious flashback sequence) in self defense after he attempts to rape her. She is tried, sentenced and shipped off to what is perhaps the grisliest, greasiest and most depraved women’s penitentiary in screen history where, at the hands, fingers and fists of psychotic lesbian warden Monica Swinn (The Duke of Burgundy, Female Vampire), she and her fellow inmates are subjected to an endless onslaught of perverse psychological and sexual abuse. 

Filled to the gills with sex, Sapphic erotica, copious amounts of female nudity and offensively staged scenes of genital humiliation, this sleazy Franco masterpiece will rattle your cage in the sweetest way...

Reviews

Jess Franco!!!

"Jess Franco for the win. The plot of the story revolves around women in prison as a title would let you know. Beautiful slip cover was fantastic artwork of the lovely Lina Romay. Definitely one of uncle Jess’s best outputs."

— Dustin G. (5/5)

A Strong Franco Production

"Excellent definition and color. I love the quality of the production. The plot, as with many Franco ventures, is off the wall. There's a lot of short scenes because the editing is a bit crazy, but that's kind of how this director works. Love it or hate it, but it's a great movie. Lina in her prime and Martine Stedil is always a treat for the eyes."

— Eric H. (5/5)

Good WIP film

"One of many women in prison films and whilst I wouldnt say it's my favourite, it's still pretty good. The slipcover is great, all these delirium releases seem to have great slips. Would recommend."

— Tony S. (4/5)

One of Franco’s better entries

"Another great release from Delirium. I’m really loving these Jess Franco releases and this is one of his sleazier entries into the women in prison flicks. It has all the usual stuff you would expect from these movies with the sleaze factor dialled right up! Great stuff!"

— james b. (4/5)

Barbed Wire Dolls

"Awsome film,awsome slip,awsome edition ,and to top it o of always great service and well packed frome Melusine"

— Deon C. (5/5)

Franco WIP

"One of the best in the WIP genre just don't go looking for any logic here in this fever dream from Uncle Jess. Also has a couple of featurettes and a commentary"

— KEVIN S. (5/5)

Jess Franco does WIP

"Any completionists looking to add to their women in prison or Jess Franco collections will definitely need this one on their shelves, but most fans that enjoy a great WIP or Franco film may find this one to be a little light on plot as we know it'll be heavy on boobs and light on much else. Sure, it's a fun film when you know what to expect and has such a fun title and pretty cool slip design, but it won't do too much for the average viewer. I love a schlocky film (not in a grand way) with plenty nudity now and again, so my love was fulfilled."

— Joshua K. (5/5)

DHV-007

"Late 70’s Eurosleaze classic, starring Lina Romay. Awesome slipcover !!"

Great Jess Franco Release

Barbed Wire Dolls

"Typical Franco, sadistic sexploitation in his favourite setting. If you enjoyed previous releases like Love Camp then you’ll love this too."

— Ben S. (5/5)
