Women's Prison Massacre


Women's Prison Massacre is a 1983 film directed by Bruno Mattei and starring Laura Gemser, Gabriele Tinti, Carlo De Mejo, Lorraine De Selle, and Franca Stoppi.

Plot

Emanuelle is sent to a violent women's prison. While she is in prison, she comes into confrontation with the "top dog" inmate Albina, ending in a series of fights. Albina gets the worse of it, including a broken arm, a knife in her leg, and her wig pulled off. Following a series of cat fights and arguments, the women's lives are interrupted by the arrival of four male death row inmates led by "Crazy Boy" Henderson, who break into the prison. The male convicts proceed to rape, mutilate, and torture the female inmates, and executions. One convict is killed when a SWAT team attempts to invade the prison. Another is killed by a female inmate who hides a razor blade inside her vagina before enticing him to have his way with her. Henderson and the remaining male con attempt to break out using the warden, Emanuelle, and a wounded sheriff as human shields. After a gory finale, Emanuelle and the sheriff are the only characters left alive, and the sheriff promises to reopen her case.

Cast

The French funding for the film was provided by an undergarments company which is worn by the female cast during the film. The liner notes for the Women's Prison Massacre DVD release state "Mattei, using the moniker Gilbert Roussel, shot Women's Prison Massacre back-to-back with his Violence in a Women's Prison. It has basically the same cast, but both films are completely different."

Release

Women's Prison Massacre was released in 1983.

Review

AllMovie reviewed the film saying "For even the most jaded fans of the genre, Women's Prison Massacre is as entertaining and arousing as autopsy footage. As unpleasant as it is, though, the film doesn't begin to approach the depths reached by Mattei's previous effort which features the same cast, crew, and basic plot."
