Bare Behind Bars on DVD in January

22 December 2010

Arrow Video continue their quest to revive and restore exploitation favourites from years past, and having hit a few home runs with horror have now turned their attention to women in prison movies with the 1980 Brazilian Bare Behind Bars (A Prisão), which is coming to UK DVD for the first time ever in January. This is one I'll definitely hand over to the press release.

Boasting "an endless line of perverse set-pieces..." this "eye opening, sleazy but fun exploitation movie" (SexGoreMutants.co.uk) comes complete with a reversible sleeve and fold out poster featuring the film's original artwork plus newly commissioned art by cult comic book artist, writer and publisher Robin Bougie of Cinema Sewer (www.cinemasewer.com) fame.

Set in a South American prison, where life is cheap but sex is cheaper, Bare Behind Bars is a chicks-in-chains grindhouse explosion guaranteed to induce cinematic whiplash.

See sex crazed inmates come up against twisted lesbian prison guards in this camp expose of the steamy, seamy life behind the grim walls of an all women penitentiary. Beware the blond bombshell doctor, whose only desire is to sate her mad lust by inflicting her affections on the vulnerable inmates and don't dare cross the insane warden of the institution, who's feathering her bed with the profits of a convict prostitution ring. Any prisoner who dares to cross her must face the worst kinds of sadistic tortures.

How long can the caged women of this hellhole endure such cruel and unusual punishment before they cut loose and stage a daring escape attempt? Find out in Bare Behind Bars, the most nudity- and sex-filled feature-length film you are ever likely to see.

Bare Behind Bars (cert. 18) will be released on DVD by Arrow Video on 31st January 2011 at the RRP of £12.99. Featuring a reversible cover with newly commissioned and original artwork, the disc will have the following special features:

  • Collector's booklet illustrated with original artwork and stills and featuring new writing on the film by artist and publisher Robin Bougie (creator of Cinema Sewer magazine, a periodical guide to the sickest and sexiest movies ever made);
  • Double sided fold out poster featuring original artwork;
  • Original trailer.
