We have rounded up some of the latest horror/science fiction genre DVD & Blu-ray releases in the UK for the week beginning 19th September 2022.
VIOLENCE IN A WOMEN’S PRISON
Another entry in the Italian run of popular ‘Emmanuelle’ sex movies, Bruno Mattei’s presentation of caged female sleaze delivers a suitably charged piece of institution-based exploitation wrought with cat fights corruption and claustrophobic tension.
When investigative journalist Emmanuelle (Laura Gemser) pretends to be a drug dealer so that she can go to prison and write an expose of life inside Santa Catrina, a women’s penitentiary, she experiences humiliation, violence and is made to suffer solitary confinement and other random punishments.
Violence in a Women’s Prison is the seventh entry in the Emmanuelle series and provides fans of this fascinating sub-genre with another sensationalist feature. A must for cult film collectors everywhere.

But then they turn angry. And when Carol Anne is pulled from this world into another, Steve and Diane Freeling (Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams) turn to an exorcist (Zelda Rubinstein) in this horror classic from director Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre films) and producer and screenwriter Steven Spielberg.
