Women in Cellblock 9 is a 1978 exploitation film featuring a group of women who are kidnapped by prison officials and held captive on a remote island where they are subjected to various forms of sexual and physical abuse. The film stars Susan Hemingway as a drug addict who is incarcerated for theft, Karine Gambier as a political prisoner, and Howard Vernon as the sadistic warden of the prison. The three of them are joined by a cast of other female prisoners, each with their own backstory and struggles, who are forced to endure the harsh conditions of their captivity.

The movie is notorious for its graphic scenes of rape, torture, and violence, which are often gratuitous and exploitative. Many critics have decried the film for its portrayal of women as helpless victims, while others have praised it for its campy, over-the-top style and its status as a cult classic.

Despite its controversial subject matter, Women in Cellblock 9 has proven to be enduringly popular among fans of the exploitation genre, and its influence can be seen in numerous other films of its kind. The movie's unapologetic depiction of female suffering and degradation has also sparked debates about the nature of exploitation cinema and its place in popular culture.

Overall, Women in Cellblock 9 is an often-disturbing film that is not for the faint of heart. It is a prime example of the exploitation genre and requires a strong stomach and an appreciation for its unique brand of shock value. For those who are willing to brave the film's brutal content, however, it offers a glimpse into a dark and twisted world that is both fascinating and repulsive.
