A "Psychotronic," surrealistic cult favorite! Female Convict Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 tells the mind-boggling story of Matsu, a Japanese female prisoner treated with extraordinary cruelty by a sadistic warden. When she and six other inmates escape, a gruesome campaign of revenge ensues. "Both an art film and an exploitation film," the San Francisco Gate noted, "it makes Thelma and Louise look like sewing-circle matrons." (93 mins.)
