Description

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...

    Sleazy But Entertaining

    Delirium knocks it out of the park with this release. Love that slipcover, and the film looks great. Quite competent direction in comparison to Jess Franco's White Cannibal Queen. The movie is mostly over-the-top torture with lots of *****. Yet, somehow it works. There are some characters you want to see get their comeuppance. But I can't say I ever felt sorry for any of the prisoners. A lack of character-building will do that. Still quite fun.

    Jess and Line Forever

    Jess Franco was one of the first directors of out there euro-cinema I got into. He and Lina Romay and the films they made are very dear to me, and I never tire of going back to them. Great WIP flick here.

    Feels like a Franco b-side,

    Feels like a Franco b-side, which it probably was. Direct and to the point, without a whole lot of subtext or artistic flourishes, other than crotch shots and his penchant for finding great locations. Romay absolutely steals every linger of the camera due to her glowing screen presence.
