      John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) A sort of distaff 'Midnight Express,' the movie takes itself seriously, even when Linda Blair tells her East German accuser: 'I'm an American college student from York, Pennsylvania -- can't you get that straight, you douche bag?'

      Audience Member Linda Blair in her heyday in a women's prison? What's not to like about this sleazy little time-waster? Rental! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Pure 80s trash. Not as good as 'Chained Heat', and less screen time devoted to tits, but still. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member An American visits her army boyfriend in West Germany only to be abducted by East Germans and sent to prison there on false charges. Better than most women in prison films while following the genre blueprint right down the line. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Blair ei kuuntele paskaa itä-sakemanneilta! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I go through a lot of shit just to see Linda Blair's sugar boobies. I had originally spotted Red Heat @ MACD MILK some 25 years ago & then it disappeared. It had always been something I wanted to see being a fan of WIP & Blair. Digging through some of my shit the other day I found it; forgetting I even had it. The disappointment was great though. Never have I been so bored w/ a WIP flix & even though it is spotted w/ nudity none of the women are attractive & even Blair looks like she had been put through the ringer. Maybe it was when she was doing coke w/ Rick James. My best suggestion is to skip it & stick w/ Chained Heat if you want a Blair WIP or even check out Bare Behind Bars or 99 Women if you want some women in termoil. This one's just no fun Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite higher production values, more esteemed cast and Tangerine Dream score, this WIP venture really just rehashes all the standard cliches we've come to expect in the genre. Slight novelty in being set in the Eastern bloc during the Cold War. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
