Filmmaker Jesús Franco directed this 1981 X-rated women-in-prison film. The plot revolves around newlyweds kidnapped in Spain and taken to a prison run by a sadistic lesbian warden. The warden, played by transsexual porn actress Ajita Wilson, leads the prisoners through rape, bestiality, sadomasochism, and sex slavery.
The film, titled Sadomania, was banned in the United Kingdom. It also stars former Playboy Playmate Ursula Buchfellner. The exploitation flick falls under the genres of adult, drama, and horror. With its explicit and controversial content, the film carries an MPAA rating of NR.
Meticulously crafted by Franco, known for his work on low-budget exploitation films like Vampyros Lesbos and Killer Barbys vs. Dracula, Sadomania offers a glimpse into the dark and provocative realm of the women-in-prison subgenre. Jesús Franco’s distinct filmmaking style, combined with the bold performances of the cast, creates a gripping and unsettling experience for the viewers.
