The Big Doll House (1971) is a movie that I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of women prisoners in a Philippine prison with no hopes for a future, so they do what they need to do to survive. Until a new boss chick comes in and delivers hope for escape; but to do it, the women will have to put their differences aside and work together if there's any hope for success.
This movie is directed by Jack Hill (Spider Baby) and stars Pam Grier (Coffy), Roberta Collins (Death Race 2000), Judith Brown (Mission: Impossible), Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses), Pat Woodell (The Roommates) and Kathryn Loder (Foxy Brown).
This cult classic is a Jack Hill gem. The cast is absolutely gorgeous and there's so many memorable scenes. The mud fight sequence is legendary, the torture scenes are unique, the girl fights are entertaining and the shower scenes are fun. The writing was impressive and I enjoyed the diversity of characters, their needs and backgrounds. Sid Haig was awesome in this picture and was an easy character to root for. The conclusion and what happened to all the characters was rewarding and felt realistic.
Overall, this is a well done exploitation film that is an absolutely must see. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
