Synopsis by Robert Firsching
An utterly bizarre psychedelic exploitation-western, The Female Bunch tells the tale of five women who live on a ranch with no men. Russ Tamblyn can be seen having his face branded before being impaled with a pitchfork; there are scenes of lesbianism and drug use; and a rather haggard Lon Chaney, Jr. appears as a ranchhand in his final role before his death in 1973. One of the strangest films directed by cult filmmaker Al Adamson (Satan's Sadists), this low-budget oddity was shot at the Spahn Movie Ranch at the time that it was occupied by the Manson Family.
