I'll tell you why so serious
hyped garbage
Violence in a Women's Prison provides a worthy entry in the women's prison genre. It offers all the T&A you would expect, though it is nowhere near as gruesome as the title would suggest. It also benefits from better than average use of lighting and camera work from Bruno Mattei.The plot is the usual. Laura Gemser, in her usual role as Emanuelle (no, not that Emmanuelle) goes undercover in a women's prison in order to reveal abuses taking place there. She encounters the usual mix of lesbianism, sadistic guards, and a corrupt yet sexy warden played by Lorraine de Selle.In spite of its title, Violence in a Women's Prison is not really all that brutal, with much more emphasis on nudity than gore. There is a rather infamous scene involving rats, although even that won't be all that shocking to the people who gravitate to this type of film. This is especially clear when compared to the film's companion piece, Women's Prison Massacre, made at the same time with the same cast and crew.This film is definitely worth a look.
***WARNING! SPOILERS!*** I was kinda looking forward to this film, simply due to the fact that I am a great fan of the ravishing Exploitation goddess Laura Gemser. This is another entry to the popular "Black Emanuelle" series in which Gemser played the part of the nymphomaniac journalist Emanuelle. This is only the second film in the series I've seen so far, the other being the ultra-sleazy and vastly entertaining "Emanuelle And The Last Cannibals". This "Violenza In Un Carcere Femminile" is sadly not nearly as vastly entertaining, and basically a formula WIP (Women In Prison) flick, and not a good one I must say. The film is not really boring, but it lacks anything to make it specifically recommendable, other than Laura Gemser's several nude scenes (which doesn't make the film particularly memorable either, as she did nude scenes in every movie she was in). Emanuelle comes to a Women's prison this time in order to investigate corruption and abuse of the inmates. Not too surprisingly, both things take place at the institution...I expected the film to be extremely sleazy and exploitative, and it certainly is no Disney flick. It is genre-typically sleazy and full of the usual ingredients (sadistic lesbian wardens, sardonic punishments, catfights,...). There is also one extremely nasty sequence involving rats. It also adds some unnecessary elements (such as some scenes in a men's prison which is right next to the woman's prison) which only make the film longer. What really disappointed me was the ending. In the end WIP flicks the inmates usually take bloody revenge on their tormentors. They partly do here, too, but the two main bad guys (a male and a female warden) only get arrested. Not an adequate ending, in my opinion. This was directed by Bruno Mattei who (along with his protegé and assistant director Claudio Fragasso)is responsible for some of the worst films the generally great Italian Horror/Exploitation cinema has ever brought forth. While this "Violenza In Un Carcere Femminile" is not a terrible film, it is pretty damn tedious at times. Worthwhile for the sleaze and especially for Laura Gemser, but certainly not highly recommendable. Take it or leave it.
This sleazy "women-in-prison" flick has everything you might expect: sex (both "straight" and lesbian), beatings, catfights, weird tortures, revolts, escape attempts, etc. You've seen it all before; usually less graphic perhaps, but, nevertheless, you HAVE seen it. Nothing new here. So the big question is: WHAT IS THE POINT? (*1/2)
its true, not just anyone can! . why are they certain trashy exploitation movies we hold dear? Mattei did bring style/substance to his films. Watch "Violenza in un carcere femminile" There is a dark mood to this film--done by style of cinematography, the score, the right cast, great flesh, script and direction. And by the way; cheese was intentional!! I really believe this. God I love this movie; I think I'll watch it tonight. I like "women's camp 119" and "Night of the Zombies" aka Virus for the same reasons but "SS girls" is my favorite. Those who do not believe Mattei Cheesiness was not intentional should see this. In fact all of you who have not seen this film, should. It may be his masterpiece.
