Sugar Boxx (2009)

How bad is it? It's a cheap homage to grindhouse films.
Should you see it? If you're in the mood for a women's prison film, it satisfies.


Following Tarantino and Rodriguez, this movie tries to recapture the feel of Jack Hill's films (Hill actually makes an appearance), with a bit of Russ Meyer thrown in: Kitten Natividad and Tura Satana have roles and there's bare breasts in nearly every shot. The story is exactly the same as any women in prison film: a reporter, hearing of prostitution and murder in a prison, goes undercover, finds out that catfights, whippings and forced prostitution are standard, starts a revolution and gets revenge. There's plenty of action and very little blood for this kind of film.
