Plot
Summary:
Terry, a social-climbing young woman accidently gets caught up in the
activities of two revolutionaries, Blossom and Django, and finds
herself in a concentration camp for women. In the center of the camp is
a towering wooden machine ("The Big Bird Cage") in which the women risk
their lives processing sugar as the evil warden looks on. The prisoners
are subjected to sadistic cruelty from the guards and fellow prisoners,
and all attempts at escape are delt with...permanently. Terry's only
hope for escape lies in Blossom and her revolutionary allies.
The
"Chicks-in-Chains" Genre
Call it
Women-in-Prison... or Chicks-in-Chains... its more or less the same
thing as lesbo's in showers... what a genius type of movie! Here at
RareLicensedDVDs, we carry many of your favorites: "Chained
Heat" (out
of print, our last stock currently on sale),
"Caged
Women",
"Emmanuelle
Escapes from Hell",
"Purgatory",
"Red
Heat",
and "Violence
in a Women's Prison"
are
all among the classics from the 70s and 80s and can be credited for
inventing the genre. But there's plenty of recent stuff too, which has
adapted the genre, and somethimes even been creative about it: "Chained
Rage",
"Cries
of Innocence",
"Chained
Sinners".
Whatever your favorites may be, if you are interested in one, you'll
probably like them all. Women in Prison... what a great genre!
