A group of women are abducted by a guerrilla army and forced to work as prostitutes at their private brothel in the jungle that's run by sadistic warden Isla (nicely played with lip-smacking wicked relish by Nanda Van Bergen).
Director Jess Franco and screenwriter Erwin C. Dietrich scrupulously cover all the satisfying sleazy grindhouse bases: We've got oodles of tasty gratuitous female nudity, group showers, lesbianism, sizzling soft-core couplings, a grim sordid tone, torture and whippings (alas, this stuff is on the mild side), lots of choice cruddy dubbing, and a moderately exciting last reel breakout. Moreover, the women featured herein are quite hot and watchable: Ada Tauler as the lusty and enticing Angela Delame, Monica Swinn as predatory traitor Maria, Esther Studer as virginal innocent Lupita Pavone, and Monika Kalin as the fierce Tona. Walt Davis contributes a decent turn as hunky and sympathetic revolutionary Chino de Guerra. Ruedi Kuttel's proficient cinematography gives this film a neat glossy look. Walter Baumgartner's smooth jazzy score hits the groovy spot. While this flick suffers from sluggish pacing and a meandering narrative, it's nonetheless still trashy enough to qualify as pleasing exploitation fare.
