Barbed Wire Dolls - another Jess Franco film but not one of his better ones I think. Most of it bored the hell out of me - the vast majority of it was just tedious. Something like his Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun was far better, or Sadomania. Not one of Franco's better entries in the WIP genre.
Savage Streets - I really loved this. Perhaps one of my favourite films. The Scars encompass most things I like in a sleazeball gang and they ham it right up! Robert Dryer is so badass! Linda Blair is such a bitch too! Some very memorable lines ("go **** an iceberg!") and a great soundtrack make for a memorable film. More in this rape-revenge mould, please!
