In this women's prison exploitation item from director Michel Levesque (
Werewolves on Wheels), sexy Phyllis Davis stars as Sugar, framed for drug possession and sent to a Costa Rican sugar plantation. There, Sugar encounters sadistic guards including
The Hills Have Eyes' James Whitworth and a mad scientist (Angus Duncan) who injects the inmates with hallucinogens. The usual violence and copious nudity are on display for devotees. Blaxploitation fans will recognize prisoner Ella Edwards from
Detroit 9000 and
Timothy Brown from
The Dynamite Brothers Co-writer
Stephanie Rothman later directed
Terminal Island, also starring Davis. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
