Emanuelle Escapes from Hell is a classic Italian WIP (Women In Prison for all you neophytes) flick with lashings of the old ultra-violence and loads
of nudity & sleaze. This is one of trash amateur Bruno Mattei's many collaborations with Eurosleaze superstar Laura Gemser and a sequel to his
previous Emanuelle film Violence in a Women's Prison (aka Emanuelle Reports from a Women's Prison).
The films opens with a strange, almost avant garde play being performed by Emanuelle and her two friends to the rest of the prisoners, they have
face-paint on and their faces are lit with a luminous green light as they describe themselves (their characters?) in bizarre prose to the audience.
Suddenly it breaks into a frenzied riot when Warden suck-up, Albina starts insulting the play and bombarding the actors with rotten tomatoes.
Eventually we come to learn that Emanuelle is incarcerated because she was in the process of uncovering a corrupt government official's
involvement in a drug smuggling ring and was framed for possession of drugs then sentenced to 5 years in prison.
She is intensely disliked by sadistic warden Colleen (Lorraine De Selle - Cannibal Ferox, Violence in a Women's Prison, The House on the Edge of
the Park) and her equally cruel guards, as well as by the warden's pet prisoner - the aptly named (due to her Albino-ish looks) Albina.
Subsequently we see Emanuelle on the receiving end of plenty of beatings, an attempted drowning, and threatened with a switchblade by these
corrupt prison officials. Meanwhile, four convicts being transported to death row arrive at the prison to be housed temporarily. The convicts, lead by
Italian exploitation regular and Gemser's real-life husband Gabriele Tinti, manage to escape and overrun the prison then take the warden hostage.
Here the fun escalates - the men run wild, raping the female prisoners and shooting anyone in their way. In one scene the most psychotic of the
bunch, the razor-wielding Blade, forces two lesbian lovers to dance with their male blow-up doll Bobby? before violating them. Later on after her
lover is killed by him, the other lesbian hides his dropped razor in her snatch and seduces him, resulting in one mutilated penis!
Overall, this is one fun little flick and a stellar effort from Bruno Mattei. There's plenty of the mandatory WIP sleaze - lesbianism, rapes, beatings,
some vicious cat fights, the odd bit of gore, and a classic game of Russian roulette where the losers brains end up splattered all over Gabriele
Tinti's face!
Strangely enough, Gemser manages not to lose her clothes for the entire duration of the film, but there's plenty of other naked bodies on display
for all you perverts. The first half of the film is straight-up WIP goodness, while the second half is more of a escaped convicts on the rampage type
scenario but still excellent nonetheless.
This DVD is the fully uncut X-Rated Kult R2 German release and was supplied by Rare Licensed DVDs. The print quality is pretty top notch with just
the odd bits of grain and scratches visible here and there. Its presented in aspect ratio 1.85:1 with English and German audio tracks available. The
only slight letdown with this release is that when accessing the English language track there is a permanent subtitle saying "Only for sale in
Germany, Austria and Switzerland". Although this is located on the lower black bar and does not interfere with the picture, it is kinda distracting.
