Blech

I saw this movie on tv on a Saturday. We all know the quality of movies shown on Saturdays. This one was quite a lot worse even than the ones shot with one hand-held camera in which the cast and crew all (both?) have the same last name.

The best part of the movie is the brief S&M relationship between Ted Cassidy and one of the prisoners. He beats her up, she enjoys it, he kills her.

I didn't say it was a good part. It was horrible.

I don't know why Mickey Rooney was in this movie. He must have been in serious financial trouble.

Don't watch this movie unless you need your stomach pumped and would prefer an emetic.
