Also known as Swedish Nympho Slaves (aka Die Sklavinnen), Jess Franco's Slaves stars the director's wife and muse, the inimitable Lina Romay (Doriana Gray, Rolls Royce Baby) in a rare villainous role as Madame Arminda, the owner of a notorious high end brothel called The Pagoda, who oversees the kidnapping and sexual torture and humiliation of a young society girl (Martine Stedil, Barbed Wire Dolls). When the girl’s father pays the ransom but doesn’t get his daughter back, he and his nasty manservant (played by Franco himself) raid The Pagoda and enslave Arminda, subjecting her to untold indignities while trying to find out what happened to his child.
As with all of Franco's collaborations with producer Erwin C. Dietrich, Slaves packs a sleazy wallop but its grimy doses of sex and violence are juxtaposed by rich production values, gorgeous cinematography by Peter Baumgartner and lush music by Walter Baumgartner. Filled with salacious deeds and bolstered by Romay’s intense performance, Slaves is classic piece of Franco-philia that needs to be seen and Delirium Home Video is thrilled to be presenting the picture here totally uncut and gorgeously remastered in high-definition.

"Hadn’t seen this one before but it obviously carries a reputation so I decided to take the plunge blind. It was solid, a little underwhelming if I’m being honest. Definitely scuzzy and surprisingly not very arousing, despite the bevy of hot women in a constant state of undress. I do love Delirium as a partner label, they have great slips and I’m looking forward to more of their releases in the future."
"Another sleaze fest from Franco but this one keeps things mostly off screen. This one is hampered by a very low budget so the blood looks terrible. There’s also very little entertaining that happens and certain scenes seem to really drag out, this is a short movie at just over 70 mins but feels way longer. There’s also very also no extras except from a commentary."
"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."
"Love the art style on these slips. Yet Another Franco in the collection."
"Beautiful transfer on this new release from master Director Jess Franco. Sound quality is amazing. Terrific Art on the slip cover keep putting these Jess movies out and I will keep buying them You can’t go wrong with women in cages."
"Picture quality is good considering age and budget of the film. No extras but slipcover is very good."
"Interesting release with some good extras. Not my favorite art on the slip to be honest, but it's one step closer to Jess Franco completionism so hats off to Delirium for getting some of his harder to find titles!"
"Another great release of a Jess Franco and Erwin C. Dietrich collaboration."
"Sleazy classic (?) from the insanely prolific Jess Franco. More entertaining than the self-important and self-indulgent Digger. Love the slipcover! Keep these Franco films on blu-ray coming in 2027."
