ryan s 3.5/5. Nightmare in Badham County is really solid for exploitation, B-Movie. Likable, smart leads, evil villains, and a compelling story. It's not impressive on a technical level, but the movie makes you feel something...mostly rage and despair. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review scott m One of the better women wrongly imprisoned movies made. The racism is very realistically done. The lead actress Deborah Raffin went on to become really famous in China for years. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Two female students from Pennsylvania on a road trip get a taste of Southern hospitality after a flat tire in the wrong county leads them to cross the local sherriff (Chuck Connors!). A sentence to hard labour on a prison farm is their reward from the local justice system with no contact to the outside world. Viewers should be cautioned that the rather chesty female prison guard on the Vidmark box cover does not appear in the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I had never even heard of this film until I got it in a 20-pack of action films (Though this is certainly not an action film), but I was blown away by it. I found it to be a gripping, emotional, and thrilling prison drama about two women who are wrongly accused and convicted of crimes and are forced to work on a prison farm where they are abused and girls are killed. It's a beautifully made film that really needs more attention because it is quite good. This is one hell of a diamond in the rough, I must say. I'm glad I randomly found it because it is one of the best film watching surprises I've ever had. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a fantastic movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member ididn't think it would be good but it was very good and very sad, iwanted to kill that fuckin sheriff Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
