Synopsis by Robert Firsching

Don Jones, best known to horror fans for co-directing The Love Butcher (1975), made this peculiar private-prison film starring Gary Kent as an impotent, inbred cretin who lives in an isolated house. His retarded brother kidnaps women and chains them in the cellar, sometimes putting a leash on them and forcing them to participate in degrading, animalistic behavior. Genre aficionados will recognize Tom Kelly from the classic Targets (1968) and Merrie Lynn Ross from Class of '84 (1982), but others will find little to enjoy in this amateurish sickie.
