It's a curiosity alright, but more akin to a Monty Python feature (with its tits out) than to, say, The Devils (1971).

Though the Pioneer is reviving this picture's original barf-bag-at-the-door promo gimmick, there's about a 50 percent chance it'll be more useful to save it for watching the returns on Election Night.

A near perfect exploitation film...able to mix an intelligent critique of power structures with some of the most brutal acts of torture set to screen at the time of its release, and yes there’s also a good amount of nudity.

Bizarre performances and an unnaturally evocative ambience help overcome the film's desperate aim to shock.
