FORMAT: DVD
Tortured Females begins with a long title scene that goes on and on about the white slave racket and how more girls should heed the lesson of Little Red Riding Hood! We then follow the story of Helen (Denine Dubois), a young woman who narrowly escaped the clutches of white slavery, who recounts her story to a sheriff. Seems she went to visit her aunt in the country when she ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere. She was then picked up by a creep who raped her and took her back to “the ranch house” where white slavers were about to turn over a shipment of girls to “Mr. Big”. As you probably already guessed, they try to add poor Helen to the inventory.
You know you’re in for something special from the moment you see the great hand drawn title card. Like The Beast of Yucca Flats, it’s all narration and no synch sound. What dialogue we do get is poorly dubbed. I love bargain bin shit like this.
Not that you need things like “titles”, “sound”, or “a budget” when most of the movie consists of long scenes of women getting undressed, showering, and getting dressed again. There’s also some skinny-dipping in a creek, nude girls chained to the wall, random stripteases, and women being whipped. That’s not to mention the odd scene where Dubois (who is quite good, all things considered, as she has the uncanny ability to get naked at the drop of a hat) dances with an oversized stuffed animal. (She even kisses it goodbye!)
The best part though is the hunchback who acts as the girls’ “keeper”. Not only does he look like something out of a Frankenstein movie; his voice was dubbed by a monkey! Folks, I’ve seen some weird shit in my time, and this is the kind of weird shit I like to see.
