Lured by bogus employment proposals women are kidnapped and forced into sex slavery for wealthy businessmen who fly deep into the Amazon jungle to satisfy their lust. The mastermind of this operation is a man by the name of "Edgar" (Sergio Hingst) and along with his wife "Helena" (Elizabeth Hartman) they represent the dregs of humanity and seem only interested in fulfilling their carnal desires. Yet while their debauchery continues night and day the leader of the imprisoned women, "Betty" (Sandra Graffi), has come up with a daring plan to escape. At any rate, so much for the general plot which might have amounted to something if the director (Osvaldo de Oliveira) had made even a half-hearted attempt to create something bordering on average. Instead, all this movie offers is nudity, sex and more nudity. Now, considering that some of the women--most notably "Liz" (Elys Cardoso), "Mary" (Shirley Benny) and the aforementioned "Betty"--weren't bad-looking this film certainly had possibilities. But the acting and the script were extremely basic and it lacked the necessary character development and direction required for even a mediocre film. In essence, the entire movie seemed created simply to set up one sexual scenario after another with no concern at all for a quality picture. That said, while I appreciate the efforts of the young ladies who graced the screen I still must rate this movie as below average.
... View MoreI'm not a big fan of WIP films. There's only been a few that I've seen that have been notable at all (the super-sleazy "roughie" DOMINATION BLUE, and this director's BARE BEHIND BARS are the only two that come readily to mind...) and this ain't one of 'em. It's the same ol' thing with this mind-numbingly retarded nude-fest...A ring of sleazy slave-traders keep girls locked up in a shack that looks like something out of Gilligan's Island in order to sell them to wealthy customers. Of course there's the obligatory escape attempts and some attempt at an actual "story" as there's some double-crossing between the main slave-trader and his girlfriend...Yeah - there's plenty of nudity (which is never a bad thing), but nothing else really makes this one notable at all. The violence is stupid, with gunshots and stab-wounds that cause no blood to flow - this is truly a cheaply made mess that will only appeal to serious fans of the genre. The only things (other than the nude broads) that were entertaining at all were the over-acted performances from the friz-haired, caterpillar-mustachioed head-slave wrangler and the gay Satanic priest - they were a trip to look watch. If you're interested in this director's WIP work, go straight for BARE BEHIND BARS and skip this one. At least there's some hardcore sex in that entry and some cheezy violence at the end...4/10

... View MoreYoung women are kidnapped in the amazon by Brazilian satanists, whose goal is to sell them to the highest foreign bidder. Some of the girls manage to escape but are pursued by their captors. In order to gain their freedom, the girls must outwit their captors. Bringing the film to a sleazy climax. Lots of nudity, lesbianism, and chessy dance numbers, the usual stuff you see in a good WIP film. Thats 'Women in Prison' for all you cinema illiterates.
