Escaped convicts, a Catholic school picnic, and a deserted ghost town collide in this 1973 sexploitation drama.
CONVICTS WOMEN
What They Wanted Was on the Outside
The Browns take their Catholic high school students on a picnic. As one student sneaks to her boyfriend, two others seduce escaped convicts who rape the fourth. Buxom Mrs. Brown and her husband fall victims to their prudence.
Proof that picnics and prudence rarely mix in the world of '70s exploitation.
Convicts Women is pure exploitation grit: John Hayes orchestrates a collision between innocent Catholic schoolgirls and lust-driven fugitives in a ghost town setting. With a cast that includes cult favorites like Candy Samples and Rene Bond, this 75-minute detour into sexploitation doesn't waste time—or modesty.
