This One Sucks...

I'm not gonna spend much time on VIRGINS FROM HELL, cuz it really doesn't deserve it. It's inept in every sense - and although some see this as a "so-bad-it's-good" type film, and I guess that's possible - I found it to be disappointing and boring...

A girl-gang takes on the "evil" Mr. Tiger - a sleazy drug-dealer who the girls battle for killing one of the gang's family - but Mr. Tiger ends up capturing the girls and imprisoning them and shooting them up with some sort of Spanish-Fly type horny drug. Sounds like the premise for an exploit "classic", right??? WRONG!!! Let's get a few things straight. I won't even get into the acting. It's lame. The dubbing is ridiculous and inept but makes the film a little funnier. The violence is weak, except in one or two scenes...and...get this...THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO (and I mean NNNNNOOOOOOO) nudity in the crap-fest. A bunch of semi-hot Indonesian chicks running around in vinyl hot-pants - and NONE of them shows so much as a tit or a butt-cheek. They even wear dresses in the BATH?!?!?!?!??? The non-nudity gets a BIG "boo" from me. I guess some may find this film somewhat entertaining - I found it stupid and "weak" as an exploit film...4/10

This 1980's Indonesian production was known as Virgins From Hell in its export version. A great, over the top title for a great, over the top film.

A bunch of sexy Asian babes in tight leatherette hot pants form a motorcycle gang to take revenge on a sleazy drug dealing white slaver called "Mr Tiger". If that plot outline doesn't appeal to you, then don't bother watching this film. If, on the other hand, it does - and you're a fan of unusual exploitation cinema - then this is right up your street.

There's a fair amount of sleazy goings on in this film. I won't list them, it's better if you discover them for yourself. But let's just say that the scene with the two babes in the shower, watched by Mr Tiger as he fondles his whip had me in hysterics. For all the right reasons.

The fact that there's no full frontal nudity as such only makes the film even MORE sleazy. Sounds strange, but it's true.

The DVD is great. And great value. A crystal clear, widescreen picture taken from the original negative plus a bonus disk of wild trailers from the same production company AND a half hour documentary on Indoensian exploitation cinema.

This is a treat for lovers of "The Wild Side of World Cinema".
