Insane, shameless and hugely enjoyable chick prison flick with all the genre stereotypes and a whole lot more. A young naive innocent is duped and dumped by her boyfriend in the middle of a crime scene and gets it in the neck by being sent to a sadistic reform school from beyond hell. The trick is to stay sane, alive and to somehow get out of the hell hole in one piece - no one seems to have done so and its hardly surprising. The warden is a cold, Ilsaesque dyke with a taste for spouting post dinner sermons over the schools speaker system. The warden is worth watching the film for several times alone, Pat Ast, last seen in the Warhol - Allesandro movies towers over proceedings with a performance that reaches the most delirious heights of camp. She is absolutely unforgettable and provides one of the great performances of modern cinema. What a phenomenal actress, such an enormous pity that she seems to appear in movies every twenty five years or so! Among the inmates are an assortment of psycho's and dyke's and others. Leading the pack is queen dyke Wendy O'Williams who at 55 is perhaps a touch elderly to be stuck up in a reform school for underage offenders!! Shows you that once you are committed, it is almost impossible to get out of the place alive. Its a great camp classic, enormously enjoyable and ridiculous beyond belief. Pat Ast is an instant all time great and deserves to be seriously worshipped and delivers unbeatable lines as "You're just a shit stain on the panties of life!". Fabulous, demented stuff...Epic!
