Bruno Mattei's 'Women's Prison Massacre' Coming to Blu-ray from Scream Factory

THE KILLING NEVER STOPS...

Scream Factory has announced a December 8th, 2015 release date for Bruno Mattei's 1983 grindhouse film, "Women's Prison Massacre."

Master of exploitation Bruno Mattei ("Cruel Jaws," "Rats: Night of Terror") hauls his unique cinematic stylings to the slammer in "Women's Prison Massacre!" Sultry reporter Emanuelle (Laura Gemser) is on the verge of breaking a big story about a corrupt politician when she gets framed and sent to a women's prison. There, incarcerated women face unspeakable cruelty and inhumane conditions — and that's before a quartet of dangerous men are temporarily transferred to the facility! When the felonious four overpower the guards and take over, it's up to Emanuelle and her fellow inmates to retake control of the prison — and their very lives.

Featuring Mattei's signature flourishes and a script co-written by Claudio Fragasso (the visionary behind "Troll 2" and "Beyond Darkness"), "Women's Prison Massacre" is a brutal and uncompromising entry in one of cinema's most infamous genres.

At this time it doesn't sound like there will be any special features included except possibly a trailer. But the film is said to be uncut. So that is a huge plus.

You can pre-order the Blu-ray from the Shout Factory website where they ship two weeks prior to release date.
