Posted March 21, 2018 05:17 AM by Webmaster
Severin Films has provided us with a promo video for its recent 2K remasters of two upcoming Blu-ray releases of cult Laura Gemser films: Violence in a Women's Prison a.k.a. Caged Women (1982) and Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (1977). The two releases will be available for purchase later this year.
Planning to expose the corrupt practices of a woman's prison, Emanuelle (Gemser) goes undercover as an inmate. She is shocked by the guard's brutal treatment of the inmates, but she never gets a chance to report these horrors. When her actual identity is revealed, she finds herself on the receiving end of even worse. Directed by Bruno Mattei, and also starring Gabriele Tinti, Maria Romano, Ursula Flores, Lorraine De Selle, Franca Stoppi, and Antonella Giacomini.

Brawl In Women's Block – Interview With Co-Director/Co-Writer Claudio Fragasso and Co-Writer Rossella Drudi
Synopsis: While doing undercover work in a mental hospital, Emanuelle discovers a girl who seems to have been raised by a tribe of amazonian cannibals. Intrigued, Emanuelle and friends travel deep into the Amazon jungle, where they find that the supposedly extinct tribe of cannibals is still very much alive, and Emanuelle and her party are not welcome visitors.
The film's original soundtrack features Italian singer and composer Nico Fidenco's hit "Make Love on the Wing". Also included is an excellent instrumental version of the song. (A third, very good version also appears on the soundtrack Fidenco created for Marino Girolami's Zombi Holocaust).
