Women in Cellblock 9 (German: Frauen für Zellenblock 9) is a 1977 Swiss exploitation action horror film starring Karine Gambier and written and directed by Jess Franco. The central focus of the film is women in prison.
Unlike much of Franco's work, the film is still prohibited in the United Kingdom due to excessive sexual violence and the fact that Susan Hemingway, one of the major actresses in many of the sex scenes, was 16 at the time the film was shot. When it was first filed in 2004, the film was rejected by the British Board of Film Classification, and it has not been successfully appealed since.
During a revolution in South America, the film is set in a jungle prison. Initially, the camp commander and Dr. Costa, the prison physician, wait for a truck with a few guards. Six young women are on board. Three of them were detained on suspicion of revolutionary activity, while the other three were made available to be raped by the guards. Karine, Barbara, and Aida, the three captives, are discovered shortly after, naked and shackled in a standing position, in the notorious Cellblock 9. Gradually, they are subjected to "interrogation," which is aided by the doctor's use of different forms of torture. Barbara and Aida remain silent in the face of torture; Karine, on the other hand, breaks down under it, and several revolutionaries denounce the (unnamed) city.
