Barbed Wire Dolls is exactly what I thought it would be. It’s a women in prison film that has no real plot. That may sound like a bad thing to most people, but the film is honest to itself. It exists only to be sleazy, and this is what Jess Franco excels at. Barbed Wire Dolls doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. It’s 70’s exploitation that walks the fine line of eroticism and depravity.
