From the fevered, wonderfully perverted minds of Spanish filmmaker Jess Franco and Swiss producer Erwin C. Dietrich comes the notorious women-in-prison shocker Women in Cellblock 9 (aka Frauen für Zellenblock 9 and Tropical Inferno). The film stars Franco regulars Susan Hemingway (Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun), Howard Vernon (Faceless) and Karine Gambier (Satanic Sisters) and tells the tale of a gaggle of female freedom-fighters who are taken to a secluded women’s jungle prison where they endure all manner of violent and sexual humiliations.
Like all of the productions in the prolific Franco/Dietrich collaborative canon, Women in Cellblock 9 is a visually lush, erotic and explicit exploitation masterclass, armed with exotic locations, weird performances and a great, dreamy score by composer Walter Baumgartner.
Delirium Home Video is proud to present this revered sleaze cinema classic completely uncut, and while it's not for the easily offended, Women in Cellblock 9 is an essential work of sadistic escapism.

"Women in Cellblock 9 is a grimy, unapologetically sleazy slice of ’70s women-in-prison exploitation that delivers exactly what fans of the genre expect. It’s outrageous, nasty, and politically incorrect in a way that makes it a fascinating time capsule of exploitation cinema."
"Another Franco/Dietrich joint, another sleazefest - this one is kinda the perfect result of this collaboration, and a must buy."
"Another great release of a Jess Franco and Erwin C. Dietrich collaboration."
"Love the cover art here, especially since it recaptures one of the best scenes in the film, when Susan Hemingway extracts a bullet from a woman's shoulder using twigs from the jungle floor."
"Another Jess Franco classic and a personal favorite. Some good extras added in for good measure. Sadly, one of Susan Hemingway’s last films."
"Already own this on Blu-ray, but glad to have it in its correct ratio."
"Sleaze, sleaze, and more sleaze. What's not to love?!"
"Looking forward to rewatching this classic! The gorgeous slip is just the cherry on top."
"Sexy film, always enjoyed this one and awesome to see such a sweet release put out for this. Get it!"
