Chains, captivity, and sleaze in a backwoods pit of depravity.
SCHOOLGIRLS IN CHAINS
They Were Abducted and Violated... but the Worse Was Yet to Come!
Two deranged brothers, who are under the domineering influence of their crazed mother, kidnap young girls and keep them captive in chains in their basement, where they subject them to depraved "games" that often end in torture and murder.
Proof that sometimes, the basement really is the scariest part of the house.
If you thought the backwoods couldn't get any grimier, Schoolgirls in Chains proves otherwise, cranking up the exploitation with a deranged mother-son trio and a basement full of terrorized captives. This is pure 'Video Nasty' territory, so bring a strong stomach and a taste for unapologetic sleaze.

Synopsis
The girls are treated like animals and then subjected to games that grow increasingly sinister and depraved. When the brothers tire of their playthings, the girls must be replaced. This undiscovered exploitation classic is every bit as morally corrupt as you've heard.
Why Cult
This film proudly wears its 'Video Nasty' badge, delivering enough taboo content to land it on the infamous lists of moral outrage.
Set in a remote country house, the film goes all-in on redneck horror, with deranged family dynamics and rural menace.
Schoolgirls in Chains blends the 'women in prison' and 'sexploitation' subgenres, serving up chained captives, escape attempts, and plenty of exploitative nudity.
With themes of abduction, humiliation, and incest, the film pushes boundaries even by exploitation standards.
