Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Pretty monotonous but of some historical/sociological interest. Rated: C Aug 30, 2022 Full Review TV Guide The kind of bad movie that would make a surrealist drool. Rated: 1/4 Mar 13, 2007 Full Review Brandon Judell PopcornQ If you can laugh at sex attacks . . . you might enjoy this beautifully shot, black-and-white, very dead-pan epic of poor taste.

acsdoug D Another Wishman classic. I think she would have been better off ignoring her artistic pretensions and just concentrate on the T & A. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Audience Member Falls into the "it's so bad, it's good" category. So low budget that a seeming majority of the film is stock footage of New York City skyline, traffic, trees, ponds, ducks, sometimes with voiceover, sometimes not. Doris Wishman gets away with as much nudity as film codes of mid-60s allowed, which makes sense since earlier she made nudist films, then afterward made pornos. I couldn't help but think of the legendary Russ Meyer as I watched it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Jesse D Horrible. Shocking and gross. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/13/21 Full Review Audience Member Doris Wishman is an under appreciated American institution. In a time when hipster culture rushes to embrace all forms of kitsch and irony, it's a mystery that Bad Girls Go to Hell and the rest of Wishman's catalog aren't more universally recognized as trash classics. Emphasizing period lingerie and decor and hilariously sending up 1960's social mores, Bad Girls is more a time capsule smashed with a whacko hammer than what most viewers expect from an exploitation movie. Wishman's overdubbing is certainly an acquired taste, but the flat, clipped dialogue spoken in voices that may or not be the actors' plays an integral part in the enjoyment of the film. Instead of psychedelic dance parties or drug trips, Wishman focuses instead in an almost instructional manner on "natural" looking women constantly taking on and off every garment imaginable. Controversial in its ambivalent, matter-of-fact depictions of sexual assault and abuse, Bad Girls Go to Hell is a master class on women's roles in society and is ripe for re-discovery. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie has great black and white picture quality contrasting with badly-acted dialogues overdubbed on upbeat jazzy music while the lead character gets victimized every 10 minutes or so. For a 65-minute movie, there is a surprisingly high number of long scenes not contributing in any way to the storyline that show an urban setting or women in their underwear. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty much an offensive film towards Women and victims of rape. With deadpan direction and awful acting this film is totally rubbish.
