SLAVES IN CAGES

Locked in a pit of horrors, they were forced to obey!

1971 · 1h 18m · R · Crime · IMDB TMDB

A legendary B&D/S&M roughie that is actually one of three micro budgeted, non-sync-sound softcore quickies that director Lee Frost and producer Armand Atamian made using short-end scraps of film and then passed off as Danish productions through their Phoenix International Films.

Proof that a bad Elvis hair-do is the least of your worries in the world of Lee Frost.

Programmer's Pick

Slaves in Cages is Lee Frost at his most unapologetically sleazy, shoving taboos down your throat with a non-sync-sound, micro-budget aesthetic. It’s a notorious B&D/S&M roughie where the so-called Danish veneer can’t disguise the American griminess or the sheer parade of depravity on display.

Synopsis

Rich playboy (with a bad Elvis hair-do) preys on innocent women, luring them back to his mansion, then knocking them out and locking them up! He makes them eat like animals out of food trays, whips and rapes them, and trains them to put on a sex show for his perverted pals (which is how he made his fortune). When the women tire of his erotic abuse, they rise up and brutally murder him onstage to the roaring applause of the amazed audience! Reminiscent of the later BLOODSUCKING FREAKS, the women have all been driven mad by their enforced captivity, making them no better than their dear, departed master in the end.

Why Cult

BDSM Sexploitation Nastiness

From whips and cages to humiliating sex acts, this film doesn't shy away from the rougher edges of 1970s exploitation.

Micro-Budget Grindhouse

One of three non-sync-sound softcore quickies Lee Frost shot using film scraps, lending it a raw, gnarly authenticity.

Women Strike Back

After enduring sick abuse, the captives band together and deliver a brutal onstage comeuppance to their tormentor.

Pseudo-Danish Curiosity

Marketed as a Danish import, this is actually an American production—an early example of international exploitation masquerade.
