Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
我不能丢下你一个人。
相必也是无力至极
和恐怖片实则无甚关联，更像是一部暗黑童话，文艺片的内核，用一种猎奇的形式探究着亘古不变的哲学问题，我是谁，我从何而来，将去向何处。
我怕是我上辈子没烧够香，才沦落到看这种电影。
第一眼看到小卷毛男二，就想到了Calvin Banks……
我以为我要看到一部恐怖片，结果居然看到了一首关于女性的苦难史。。。好喜欢这部电影的诗意。
将犯罪与同性结合起来的电影本身就少见，拍出精品更是不多，更何况是波兰拍出来的。影片叙事流畅，情感铺垫自然，结尾的追击也让人屏住呼吸。总之，这是我在《烈焰焚币》之后看过的另一部同性犯罪佳作。
故事背景太压抑了，不过我到尾也没看明白为什么别墅里面的所有人都要被杀啊？
监狱相遇那段，Arek眼里烁着的那份诧异与失望，对眼前人的怀疑、信任与期待，谁能不被共情！Arek和《孽子》里的小玉是一样的人。
果然要steal like an artist，这不就是用泰伦斯马力克的风格，按照《皮囊之下》的设定拍了个《女巫》嘛。旁白的絮絮叨叨少一点就好了。
波兰八十年代对同性恋实施的一个严查行动叫风信子，因同性恋引发的杀人事件。演员戏很好，有点闷场。
部分镜头和延伸出来的概念很美丽，但是我无法认同一些女主观点，我就是喜欢孤单。
——但你没有欺骗你自己。
办案就一定要水落石出
但对自己身份认同的迷茫，让他在事后落荒而逃，他无法正视自己对男人动力情
【C-】对这种故作玄虚、自视清高、风格大于内容的民俗恐怖片实在是接受无能。
克制 隐忍
文艺类恐怖片，观感有点像是《致不灭的你》，同样都是获得不同的身份去体验人世。大量的念白，乡村田园风光，没有多少血腥镜头的出现。
变成女人，杀了丈夫；变成男人，杀了女孩；变成小孩，变成母亲……终于找到了自己。
熟悉的美学风格，泰伦斯·马利克家族又添新人，好在这个聊斋故事足够神奇。一旦你代入故事的视角，换成被残杀的无辜村民，这个女巫故事就变得没那么感人了吧。
