Description: Young girl gets a misunderstanding in the women’s prison, which is ruled by a cruel boss and sit hostile prisoners. The opening scene of the movie features a sexy heroine Jenny Williams (performed by Linda Carol) screaming through a broken windshield, which makes you realize that the film is a catalyst of WIP filmmaking. Pat Ast appears to be a lesbian guard of Ilsa wannabe Sybil Danning’s Reform School of cruelty. Despite the fact that a WIP movie usually features no more than two catfights, Reform School Girls offers you half a dozen, coupled with numerous shower scenes, and a few riots. Of course, the nudity is beyond expectations as well, as from the fist five minutes you will get full frontal, which is afterwards keeping this trend with quality naked bodies fashion. Wendy O. Williams is the woman locked down in the Reform school in charge of the other inmates, also getting special treatment from Pat Ast. But when the warden begins cracking down, and makes her to pour tea while all the others slave in the field, Wendy O. Williams would cry that it’s too hard for her.
Review: 80’s EXPLOITATION STAPLE, 1986’s REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS STARRING LINDA CAROL, SYBIL DANNING, WENDY O. WILLIAMS, PAT AST AND CHARLOTTE MCGINNIS. TRASHY, SLEAZY ROMP WITH MOST OF THE GIRLS WEARING BRAS AND PANTIES WHILE AT THE SCHOOL/PRISON AND SOME NICE SHOWER/HOSE DOWN SCENES AS WELL AS THE FUGLIEST JABBA EVER, DR. NORTON. EVERYTIME I SEE THIS I CAN’T HELP BUT THINK OF “CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS IN TROUBLE” FROM THE KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE! INCLUDES A COMMENTARY TRACK FROM DIRECTOR TOM DESIMONE AND HUMORIST MARTIN LEWIS.
As is well known in Europe in the 70’s filmed an incredible number of operational areas movies «woman in prison», that is, “the woman behind bars” with all the ingredients that become unshakable anthologies for prescription storyline: the heroine falls in conclusion there waiting for her with torture bullying guards – half-mad sadists, fellow sufferers have lesbian passions, trying to break her spirit, and for dessert – at least the mandatory rebellion with the overthrow of the regime. For such patterns sculpted dozens of films, many eminent treshmeykery, in particular Italy, well, worse than America? Of course, absolutely nothing, she, too, has always been generous to a different Grindhouse, therefore, considered tape turned out at all the same constants mentioned, however, and with a share of identity. And in all these nuances and we will try to understand a little further.
Having clarified the important thing is that the film Reform School Girls is wholly original operation «woman in prison», the viewer is obliged to accept, first, an incredible number of blunders and plot liberties, far from the reality, and secondly, the absurd acting, but this is not a sentence, but an unwritten rule without which the film would no longer belonged to their direction. Then it will all be full, and very often, for example, we have before us a colony where prisoners now and then without any difficulty after lights are moved (!) On its territory, leaving the dwelling unit, pottering along the corridors, back yard, and so on, and the concept of locks on the doors completely absent. By the way, about the actions of the characters and «woman in prison» impossible to keep silent about a significant share of nudity in the frame, which also took place many, yet in comparison with their European counterparts current director Tom DeSimone (Tom DeSimone), by the way, no one is filming picture in a similar specificity, yet was more reserved. Erotica is definitely there, but the age-old scene in the shower turned low and the actress is more or less civilized appearance, do not forget to wear clothes. However, the clothing items of underwear is difficult to call, however, no prude would not look up, and the absurdity of feeding prisoners exclusively within the strict framework of age to thirty and under the figurines explicitly call unholy nonsense. When on the contrary, b-movie lover just smiles widely exhibited by the farce to watch half-naked girls on the ideas required to wear a robe, but contrary to common sense and the rules clad in sexy outfits in high heels.
Regarding the “terrible” component formulation, the thriller from the Americans, too, came to light any fake blood so tortured than they did over the ocean for a dozen years before. Just going back to the specific differences of the continent, it is necessary to point out some special unique rebellious spirit of the work, which in my memory was never the Italians. The fact is that the whole picture is soaked from the beginning to the final frequent defiant rock songs – with the help of one of the roles of the performer punk rock singer Wendy O. Williams (Wendy O. Williams), therefore the frames with scuffles “wild cats” between themselves and security, as well as the rebellion will remind noisy nimble clips, helping to convey the atmosphere of the prison anarchy women’s team with the main character fighting temperament. This gives the rhythm a closed narrative, such vstryasyvaya viewer does not trying to pile on him depressed feelings – not whether it is we expect from the operation, so it only amused us, deliberately brushing aside the conventions of the faithful repetition of history or reality? The screen is absurd obliged to laugh, otherwise such a “bad movie” and not look befitting advance preferring to anything reasonable.
And the absurdity of the whole sea, perhaps more anteriorly main villain, the matron in an overvalued by Pat Est (Pat Ast), reminiscent style of play and sort of grotesque mimicry combination feisty James Belushi in a skirt and with a baton in his hand. Watch all of her tricks and horrible (ridiculous?) Tricks (kitten right foot crush Homeric laughing!) Without laughter is not possible, further strengthens the reality of the operation of any movie with a straight face that it is impossible to consider absolutely no way, no how hard you try.
As a result, we have before us only a stupid movie narrow thematic focus, therefore it is designed for at least a narrow audience numbers also filmed it on American soil, which makes lightweight trail of all mandatory specifics and adherents of European bloodier so brutal, erotic performances seem “salted insufficiently “on many points without careful savoring details.
Personally to me that this version «woman in prison» genuinely liked, because it is not as sadistic as a lurid, funny, noisy on rock music, almost obsessed lesbian overtones, and what to hide than watch the screen Failed naked girls in overalls, much nicer to receive combat “bad girls” in chopped minimize topic, let all the same the same entourage narrow slice Grindhouse.

Simple Review:
This movie is not and never was intended to be a “serious” WiP film, it is a tongue-in-cheek homage, a spoof, of such movies. It’s not really “funny” as a spoof, it’s just a semi-legit story abusing, quite intentionally, all the WiP tropes.
In short, anyone who thinks anyone was EVER supposed to take this seriously probably believes in Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and AGW.

I believe in Wendy O. Williams, and Santa Claws.
Kudos Wip!
