The beautiful Phyllis Davis (TV's VEGAS) stars as Sugar, a fun loving nympho traveler, who's entrapped by a corrupt cop and sent to a female prison camp hidden deep in the tropical jungles of South America. Assigned a position on the notorious sugar cane gang, Sugar soon discovers that the plantation's owner, Dr. John, uses the prisoners in violent and diabolical experiments. Sugar may soon become another of his victims, that is, unless she can bust out first...

Director Michel Levesque's (WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS) much sought after and over the top women-in-prison thriller, SWEET SUGAR, is an action and violence packed exploitation classic, filled with blood, nudity, and a barrage of absurd twists.

Essential Women Prison Movie

"Vinegar Syndrome's 2K restoration of Sweet Sugar (1972) elevates this women-in-prison exploitation film with a sharp, vibrant transfer that restores over 20 minutes of missing footage. Featuring a strong performance by Phyllis Davis, the Blu-ray is a definitive, high-quality release essential for fans of 1970s grindhouse cinema. You can find more information on this release at Vinegar Syndrome."

Fun, wild women-in-prison grindhouse

"A fast, pulpy exploitation ride with big characters, over-the-top action, and that classic ’70s grindhouse charm. Not subtle, but very entertaining if you like the genre. Vinegar Syndrome’s transfer looks sharp and colorful, giving the film more polish than it’s ever had."

— Thomas L. (4/5)

Good movie

"Nice flick. Quite enjoyable"

— Diego S. (5/5)

Great woman in prison movie

"Great women in prison movie. Alternate slipcase looks awesome."

— Tait K. (5/5)

Incredible slipcover

"Lots of pointless and nonsensical subplots, but you just can’t look away if you’re a fan of exploitative trash cinema. I want to live inside this film."

— Will K. (4/5)

Sweet Sugar - Blu-Ray release

"Early 70s women-in-prison flick. Nothing new but very enjoyable if you enjoy this kind of movie. There is only mild nudity, like the bath scene which is a staple of the genre, but besides that it is pretty tame, even by 70s standards. Picture quality, audio quality and cover art-work are again top-notch. All in all, a great release for 70s B-movie enthusiasts."

— NIKOS D. (4/5)
