Bad Girls Go to Hell is a 1965 exploitation film directed by Doris Wishman. It stars Gigi Darlene as June, a bored housewife who is sexually assaulted by her landlord and subsequently flees to New York City. The film opens with June vacuuming the living room when her landlord, Mr. Stark, comes in to fix the radiator. After finishing his work, he convinces June to have a drink and ultimately takes advantage of her. The next day, June tells her husband about the assault, but he blames her for leading Stark on. With nowhere else to turn, June decides to leave her small town for the big city.

Once in New York City, June meets various men who take advantage of her naivety and desperation. She gets a job as a typist, but her boss tries to seduce her. She shares an apartment with a woman who introduces her to a man named Charlie, who offers her a modeling job. The modeling job turns out to be wearing lingerie for a group of men, and June runs out in disgust.

Throughout the film, June continually finds herself in compromising situations, including being kidnapped and nearly raped by a man known as "the Sheik," who ultimately ends up dead. She is also nearly raped by a taxi driver and has a lesbian encounter with her roommate.

In the end, June realizes that her life in New York City is no better than her life in the small town she left behind. She concocts a plan to fake her own death and have her husband claim the life insurance money, leaving her free to start over somewhere else.

Bad Girls Go to Hell is a classic example of exploitation cinema from the 1960s. It features gratuitous nudity and sexual content, as well as a storyline that is both predictable and implausible. However, it is also an interesting look at the societal expectations placed upon women in the 1960s and the limited options available to them.

As a low-budget film, the production values are quite poor. Scenes are often poorly lit, and the sound quality is often low. However, the film does have a certain charm, thanks to the earnest performances of the cast and the retro aesthetic of its setting.

Overall, Bad Girls Go to Hell is a product of its time. It will likely only appeal to those interested in exploitation cinema or those looking for a glimpse into the cultural landscape of the 1960s.
