A Disappointing Continuation

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

"Emanuelle in Prison" is rather a variation than a sequel to Violenza in un carcere femminile": even though Laura Gemser plays the same part as Emanuelle, Gabriele Tinti plays the leader of the criminals now, without any connection to Violenza..." where he played the doctor. Anyhow, Emanuelle performs a theater play at prison in such a boring manner that inmates throw rotten tomatoes at her. Nevertheless, she still seems somewhat too popular to the guards. They are trying to humiliate Emanuelle, but their efforts fail, she's got nerves of steel and experience from the previous flick. The situation at the prison changes radically when armed male prisoners attack the guards and take control. The prison is besieged, and it's time to kill... Nothing special for the genre, in fact a bit lackluster, but the haunting soundtrack by Luigi Ceccarelli deserves mentioning; it reminded me stylistically (not quality-wise) a bit of Keith Emerson's compositions for Argento's Inferno".

I saw this one a while ago and was really surprised by it I thought it was gonna be as bad as other Bruno Mattei flicks, but i was wrong. The last entry in the Black Emanuelle series is as good as Emanuelle in America (The best in my opinion) and maybe the best women in prison movie ever made (After Barbed Wire Dolls that is).The plot is about a gang of murderers who take hostage a women's prison, where they rape and torture the girls as well as the guards. Our favorite female reporter is an innocent inmate who is being charged for a false drug possession.The movie is very different from the Emanuelle series. For a start, there are very little sex scenes and the movie is hardly erotic. The violence is good and there are a few sleaze touches. The score is horrible (in the best possible way) and the acting is so over the top you'll have a laugh at it.My only complaint is that Laura Gemser doesn't get naked at all, but still very recommended. 9/10

Emanuelle Escapes from Hell is a classic Italian WIP flick with lashings of the old ultra-violence and loads of nudity & sleaze. This is one of trash auteur Bruno Mattei's many collaborations with Eurosleaze superstar Laura Gemser and a sequel to his previous Emanuelle film Violence in a Women's Prison (aka Emanuelle Reports from a Women's Prison).The film opens with a strange, almost avant garde play being performed by Emanuelle and her two friends to the rest of the prisoners, they have face-paint on and their faces are lit with a luminous green light as they describe themselves (their characters?) in bizarre prose to the audience. Suddenly it breaks into a frenzied riot when Warden suck-up, Albina starts insulting the play and bombarding the actors with rotten tomatoes. Eventually we come to learn that Emanuelle is incarcerated because she was in the process of uncovering a corrupt government official's involvement in a drug smuggling ring and was framed for possession of drugs then sentenced to 5 years in prison.She is intensely disliked by sadistic warden Colleen (Lorraine De Selle - Cannibal Ferox, Violence in a Women's Prison, The House on the Edge of the Park) and her equally cruel guards, as well as by the warden's pet prisoner - the aptly named (due to her Albino-ish looks) Albina. Subsequently we see Emanuelle on the receiving end of plenty of beatings, an attempted drowning, and threatened with a switchblade by these corrupt prison officials. Meanwhile, four convicts being transported to death row arrive at the prison to be housed temporarily. The convicts, lead by Italian exploitation regular and Gemser's real-life husband Gabriele Tinti, manage to escape and overrun the prison then take the warden hostage. Here the fun escalates - the men run wild, raping the female prisoners and shooting anyone in their way. In one scene the most psychotic of the bunch, the razor-wielding Blade, forces two lesbian lovers to dance with their male blow-up doll Bobby(?!) before violating them. Later on after her lover is killed by him, the other lesbian hides his dropped razor in her snatch and seduces him, resulting in one mutilated penis! Overall, this is one fun little flick and a stellar effort from Bruno Mattei. There's plenty of the mandatory WIP sleaze - lesbianism, rapes, beatings, some vicious cat fights, the odd bit of gore, and a classic game of Russian roulette where the losers brains end up splattered all over Gabriele Tinti's face! Strangely enough, Gemser manages not to lose her clothes for the entire duration of the film, but there's plenty of other naked bodies on display for all you perverts. The first half of the film is straight-up WIP goodness, while the second half is more of a escaped-convicts-on-the-rampage type scenario but still excellent nonetheless. 8/10

Leave it to chronically shameless Italian exploitation movie sludgemeister supreme Bruno Mattei to make one of the most delectably revolting and depressing 80's chicks-in-chains features, a gloriously ghastly el schlocko marvel that gleefully caters to the lowest possible denominator in the sleaziest manner imaginable. The always sexy and smoldering Laura Gemser stars as feisty investigative reporter Emanuelle (of course), who while serving hard time in the grimy joint runs afoul of the sadistic warden, the equally brutish guards, and pallid, pasty-faced big nasty bleach blonde top con Albina. Four ferocious deathrow-bound male convicts led by the cheerfully vicious and maniacal cop killer psycho "Crazy Boy" Henderson (a first-rate cackling dirtbag performance by Gemser's real-life husband Gabriele Tinti) are shipped to the hoosegow for temporary detainment en route to a one-way trip to the electric chair. The dangerous quartet take over the prison and proceed to get it on with the man-hungry, sex-starved female inmates! The leave-no-skanky-cliché-unaccounted-for pandering script delivers a ripely overabundant catalog of marvelously explicit and excessive gutter-crawling depravity: cat fights, shower scenes, lesbianism, savage stick beatings, grisly throat slicing, bloody shoot-outs, rape, strangulation, an especially wince-inducing castration (ouch!), even a "Deer Hunter"-derived Russian roulette sequence! The deathlessly lousy and, naturally, atrociously dubbed dialogue boasts such gut-busting tin-eared gems as "Filthy slut Irene; I'm open to anyone's offers" and the truly immortal taunt "I'll bite your nipples off!" Obviously shot on a paltry five'n'ten cent budget, with shoddy, muddy cinematography, spare, almost barren sets (the prison looks like an old abandoned warehouse -- and probably was exactly that), and an annoyingly monotonous sub-Goblin synthesizer score, this thoroughly foul and fetid festering scuzzpit of a flick's pervasive cheapness and seediness actually enhances instead of detracts from the relentlessly sordid and gloomy tone. A splendidly squalid slimebucket treat.
