judy lander play susan . she jump out of the shower and put a pink aerobics outfit on and walk downstairs to see her mother strangle to death by ray sharkey ( play a killer name silk ) . she run out of house and into a construction site and meet up with sharkey and fall . the fall doesn not kill her but give her amnesia and so with some string pull by the man behind silk deed susan be put into a sanatorium till she recover her memory . unfortunately for susan and she be admit to a mental institution run by dr. fletcher the sultry mary woronov who enjoy be sado masochistic and experiment on patient in a basement call hellhole . the hospital be like no other . most of the ward be playboy playmate caliber look girl . all of them disrobe quite freely . in fact this film have a lot of nudity in it with a cat fight in the shower and a mud bath a standouts . anyway and . ah the mind wanders . susan be be stalk by the man that kill her mother all the while learn about the atrocity commit by dr. fletcher . i find this film somewhat interest for a number of reason . it be outwardly a sleazy picture in many way . it have a spin on the woman in chain motif . nudity and shock effect override storyline through much of it . the act range from weird and bizarre ( sharkey ) to competent ( richard cox a the hero ) to camp ( mary woronov do her best dyanne thorne impersonation ) to less than credible ( judy lander ( ( but hey who care right . ) ) ) . there be a number of cool cameo by genre notable from the past . terry moore from mighty joe young fame have a nice role and marjoe gortner have an intriguing yet thin role a a doctor in league with woronov and and the aforementioned dyanne thorne have a brief cameo a a patient that think she be an actress . director pierre de moro even have flash of talent here and there . the opening sequence be somewhat chilling and the setting of hellhole be very well utilized in term of atmosphere and lighting and etc . the end be wholly predictable but somehow satisfying for a film of this ilk . but make no mistake and while outwardly a horror film and this be also a sexploitation film equally . watch for renee vicary a silk girlfriend . just lovely .
