Femmes en cages

A cult classic of the exploitation genre. Considering the reputation of this picture I would expect loads of scenes where a sadistic doctor played by Pam Grier is torturing everybody, loads of naked beauties behind bars and maybe elsewhere... Instead of that, this is chaste through and through and a sort of regular B-movie. It even has a story. Women in Cages is entertaining and surprisingly it isn’t ridiculous even at the moments when maidens in miniskirts are running around the jungle with machine guns. It’s not at all bad, not relying on just a couple of good scenes, but overall its shamefully mediocre. We’ve seen so many B-movies like it and more are bound to follow. (30/07/2007)

I probably expected a bit more from that film because I heard a lot about it before I saw it, but still, it's a solid B-movie that embodies a lot of its time, with a certain naivety, but also with an effort to finally show a bit more and push certain boundaries of what's possible to depict on screen. And Pam Grier is beautiful and breathtaking, but so are most of the women cast here. (14/10/2015)
