this film be the one of the first and of the 70 woman in prison film genre . this movie be incredibly violent and with lot of sadistic torture be inflict on the inmate . the film take place in the phillipines and which look like a horribly ugly country . no doubt and the producer use this factor to their advantage and to emphasize the gruesome situation that the prisoner be in . blaxploitation movie queen pam grier and have the star role in this movie . she play blossom and a renegade who get throw in the vile woman prison and on trump up charge . her boyfriend and play by sid haig and try to rescue blossom . he and blossom be part of a political guerrilla faction and and blossom incarceration be orchestrate by the corrupt and phillipino government . pam grier and sid haig and stand out amongst the otherwise lackluster cast . the film itself and put way too much emphasis on violence perpetrate against the prisoner . their captor just use them solely a object of their sadism . this get boring real fast . this movie could have use more interesting plot line and and subtlety . this be not one of roger corman well picture . the many woman in prison film that follow this one and be much good all around . i would recommend the big bird cage and only to pam grier fan .
