This was filmed in some beautiful locations and it was also shot real well. That's about where my positive comments end though. If you're trying to pay homage to a genre from the 70's and 80's, why would you throw in so much horrendous CGI? The movie starts with an awful CG headshot. If you're making me groan out loud within the first minute, that is never a good sign. Lots of really bad CG blood splatter in this, with a few moments of okay practical gore. If you're paying homage to the WIP genre, where was all the nudity? Why are women showering with their underwear on? Why are they in sexual situations and still have it on? The sheer stupidity was making me laugh. This does not deliver on the sleaze factor. Most of the performances felt forced and overacted. The guy who played the doctor did not convince me as a villain whatsoever. This film seemed like a bunch of ideas and characters all throw together with none of them being fully fleshed out. I didn't really care about any of these characters. I was struggling to figure out the point of several of them in the first place. The humor was out of place and none of it was funny. To add to the positives I mentioned in the first sentence here, I did enjoy aspects of the final act; a montage where most of the characters met their fate. I mainly enjoyed Ellie Church's performance in this part. This was the only portion of the movie that really grabbed my attention (finally). Too little too late. I was really looking forward to this movie because I love the WIP genre, but I ultimately felt really disappointed after watching. It just didn't deliver for me, but at least it was short at an 80 minute runtime.

This movie was hard to watch. The acting was so bad. The only thing that saved this movie was Ellie Church. She literally carried the movie. I mean, I had to make myself continue to watch it and I LOVE campy cheap made B style movies. Unless your a big fan of Ellie, I would pass on this one.

This story is a mess. It introduces characters and situations that never go anywhere, then keeps adding more. The movie starts out with a secret agent being briefed on her mission. We get to see her in a fight scene that wants to be Black Widow, but just looks like some amateurs playing around. Then, the agent makes it to the prison and immediately gets dumped into a pit, and we never see her again. There is a subplot about a warden who is trying to torture the women into controlling them, but before she can really do much, she hooks herself up to a torture machine that maims and kills her. The girls in the jail are revolting, and the most disgusting one almost ends up as a central character in the final act. It ends with another secret agent flying over in a helicopter and blowing everything up. They had some ideas on how to get this story started, but couldn't figure out where to go with any of it. Avoid. Oh, also, the score was one of the worst I've ever heard.
