HELLHOLE 1985 (SHOUT FACTORY)

There are several movies that have this title, but none are quite like this.

A young woman named Susan (Judy Landers) sees her mother murdered and escapes the killer, but due to the shock of the incident, she has no memory of what has happened.

She is put in a sanitorium and her mothers killer gets a job there to make sure she never talks to anyone about the killing. However, there are more evil things going on inside of the place.

Dr. Fletcher (Mary Woronov) is conducting labotomy experiments inside the prison, and any woman taken to "hellhole" is never seen again. Susan must fight off both Fletcher and her would be killer, Silk (Ray Sharkey).

This is not really a WIP film,. but it plays like one, and you can see several ideas they stole from other films if you're a fan of the genre. It works well and I can tell you it's never boring.

This is pure 80's horror and Women In Prison mixed together with a great cast and I believe this movie will please fans of both genres.

Speaking of cast, the rest of the performers in this film include Marjoe Gortner, Richard Cox, Edy Williams, Terry Moore, Robert Z'Dar, Martin Beck and Lynn Borden.

I do recommend this little film and maybe I like it a bit more than others will because I am a huge fan of Judy Landers. She was a huge 80's crush when I was in my 20's.
