Synopsis:
"The first Franco/Erwin
Dietrich effort is probably Franco's
most exploitive film with numerous sadistic scenes of torture
and perversion. A true exploitation masterpiece that only
a director like Franco could make. Maria (Lina
Romay) is sentenced to prison for
life for killing her father that attempted to rape. She is
sent to a special section of the jail know for it's cruel
and sadistic treatment of prisoners. The wardress (Monica
Swinn) is a sadistic lesbian who
knows no mercy and takes pleasure in her job. Maria seduces
a male nurse who she eventually kills in order to spring an
escape from the hellhole. A must for all fans of sadistic
WIP films and for Jess
Franco addicts. Also stars Franco regulars Paul
Muller, Martine
Stedilm and Eric
Falk." - from xploitedcinema
My oppinion:
Now this is Euro-Sleaze the way only Franco
can make them!! He really doesn't hold back at all! You should
expect lots of nudity (some Hard Core), torture, degradation
and of course a nazi-like lesbian warden. The plot is very
very thin, but in this genre, who really cares? There are
some crazy and fun characters, like the crazy redhead that's
being starved at the beginning of the movie, not to mention
Eric Falk
which is always fun, mainly because of his extremely bad acting.
One scene just made me stare into the screen in a mild state
of shock, I'm thinking about Lina
Romay's dream about the attempted
rape by her father (Franco himself). What the hell was Franco
thinking when he made that?? Incredibly crappy (but funny)
scene! You'll know what I mean when you see it.. Lina
Romay and her blonde friend looked
beautiful and thus the constant nude scenes were very welcome!
What did annoy me a bit was the abrupt ending.
To conclude, I thought Franco's other WIP "masterpiece",
Sadomania,
, is a bit better, but Barbed Wire Dolls delivers the goods,
and Franco once again proves he is the definite king of the
genre!
