Mmmm, Pam Grier. A bunch of other hot chicks, too, but mmmm...Pammy. Also Sid Haig. This one was directed by Jack Hill, who made a handful of blaxploitation films with Grier. An all female prison in the Phillipines somehow has mostly hot American girls as prisoners, who get into the usual trouble and catfights. One of the best produced WIP films.

If you can't find the fun in Sleazy South American Chick Prison Shenanigans; The Movie, I don't know if we can be friends and I might say something bad about your mum. Has a shower scene, mud wrestling, shanking, Sid Haig, cobra torture, and some fine lay-dees. I feel so bad for sort of liking this, and I'm enjoying that feeling.

Roger Corman's "New World Pictures'" classic 70's women-in-prison exploitation film, that along with "Women in Cages"(1971) and "The Big Bird Cage"(1972), would set the template for the women-in-prison genre for years to come, and was easily more than a decent watch for this fan of exploitation B-movies.

The first of producer Roger Corman's immortal "women in cages" features shot in the Philippines. Its plotline has become a B-movie staple. The straightforward mixture of cheesy humor, soft-core S&M, and fast-paced action made it the model for countless American, Italian, and South American imitations.

I hope there is something more to The Big Doll House because I feel dirty for watching it and I liked it. I'm not deluded enough to think there is some high-minded message or meaning in TnA films like this, but there is something about revelling in the filth. Roger Corman knew what people liked and gave us juuuuuust enough to keep it out of porno theatres, under budget, and how to keep our attention. It is salacious, taboo, and not wholly likeable. I think there are lessons to be learnt here.

Jack Hill invented the babes-behind-bars movie with this film... and in so doing did Mankind a great disservice. Like all the other movies in this genre it sucks ass through a straw

It hasn't aged all that well, but it's still pretty entertaining. Haig and Grier are always fun to watch.

Surprisingly well-written. Jack Hill's kind of a boring director though.

Embarassingly bad - especially compared to Euro/Japanese sleaze of that times.

Sexploration film, that's missing the sex but covers lots of other bases (bondage, mud. cages and shower scenes).

Much has been made of the slasher film's resemblance to pornography, but '70s WiPers were born straight thereof, namely 8MM loops in peep booths and the paperbacks sold outside. The torture sequences here are direct kink reel imitations, the whips and gyrations and hooded figures (Hill had used existing fetish imagery as early as SPIDER BABY). Haig and Grier are a lot of fun together and Collins leaves a deep impression as always. She completely makes the endings of this and WOMEN IN CAGES.
