SPECIAL EDITION DOUBLE-SIDED WRAP
From the fevered, wonderfully perverted minds of Spanish filmmaker Jess Franco and Swiss producer Erwin C. Dietrich comes the notorious women-in-prison shocker Women in Cellblock 9 (aka Frauen für Zellenblock 9 and Tropical Inferno). The film stars Franco regulars Susan Hemingway (Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun), Howard Vernon (Faceless) and Karine Gambier (Satanic Sisters) and tells the tale of a gaggle of female freedom-fighters who are taken to a secluded women’s jungle prison where they endure all manner of violent and sexual humiliations.
Like all of the productions in the prolific Franco/Dietrich collaborative canon, Women in Cellblock 9 is a visually lush, erotic and explicit exploitation masterclass, armed with exotic locations, weird performances and a great, dreamy score by composer Walter Baumgartner.
Delirium Home Video is proud to present this revered sleaze cinema classic completely uncut, and while it's not for the easily offended, Women in Cellblock 9 is an essential work of sadistic escapism.
