Human Experiments
A women-in-prison film with a brainwashing subplot. Linda Haynes deserved better material.
A women-in-prison film with a brainwashing subplot, and Linda Haynes deserved much better material than she ever got.
A country singer breaks down in a small town, walks into a house full of corpses and is convicted of the murders. The prison psychiatrist is using inmates to test a technique that regresses them to infancy.
The idea is interesting and the film is two things stapled together: a fairly standard prison picture and a much stranger science-fiction premise that only becomes the plot in the last third.
Haynes gives a real performance and quit acting a few years later.

Adjacent
Blood Rites
Andy Milligan shooting in Staten Island with a hand-held Auricon. An acquired taste nobody acquires.
Fight for Your Life
A home invasion built entirely on racial abuse. Genuinely hard to watch and not for craft reasons.
Mardi Gras Massacre
An Aztec-obsessed killer in New Orleans. A Blood Feast remake in all but name, and slower.
Exposé
The only British film on the DPP list. A novelist, a typist and Fiona Richmond in a farmhouse.
Don't Go Near the Park
Cursed cave dwellers from 12,000 BC eating people in modern Los Angeles. Incoherent throughout.
Frozen Scream
Every line is dubbed, including scenes with nobody talking. Almost hypnotically incompetent.
