Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
披着恐怖片外皮的文艺片，原片沉闷得让人看不下去，转而看的别人的解析，导演是从女巫的角度来探讨生命和社会的议题，恕我欣赏不来这么深奥的表现方式
Speak without language.
节奏缓慢的文艺类电影，不能分类在恐怖惊悚范畴，静下来看应该会觉得好看吧，不过现在人都太浮躁了，这种电影很可能不讨好
心脏越空，灵魂越是丰满。当体验了不同种的人生之后，一以贯之的是爱。男孩的，女孩的，男人的，女人的…一种超验的现象学机制在默然起效，仅是体验，而不顾历史，才是踏遍这片热土的方式。
3.5 视听还不错，其实不是恐怖片，讲的是生命体验，前半段有些无聊...演员们都很好！
文艺，太文艺了！根本不是恐怖片，看到要睡着，和2015年的《女巫》如出一辙，拍女巫就拍不出一些紧张刺激的恐怖惊悚片吗？作为恐怖片，只能给2星，这是看不下去的，那些说血腥的是没有看过血腥片吗？作为文艺片，能给3.5星，还是讲了一些东西的。
电影以探讨女巫的生存方式，剥离了观众作为人类的主观视角，客观地描述了每一个人类身为独立生命个体存在的复杂性。不过除此之外，复杂的体验下似乎还铺垫着一层光靠体验和用力感受无法改变的命运。
Witch is nothing and everything.
what a life 恐怖片外表下的女性社会化性别化议题，母亲与孩子的角色/命运轮回
电影才是生命成本最低的产物
咱捋捋啊……看过了女人要站着生孩子生完立刻还得干活，经历过了男人ooxx的暴爽，最后还是选择稳定在女人的身份对吧？……不得不说这节奏好容易犯困，讨论了一下才对上号：新女巫失手杀死了小男孩的母亲，先变成他的母亲养育他，再变成男人帮他劈柴，最后变成女人嫁给他对吧……有这么深情吗还是赎罪吗？还就只是性生活和谐了身份才能稳定是吧……། – _ – །
女巫都要喜欢男人、生孩子，还喜欢到处可怜男人。哈哈哈，笑死了。
看不懂女巫电影 这种中世纪破衣裳慢节奏的确无感 烧的还不如寂静岭女警肉疼感人 是我俗了
女巫妹子和小帅哥的爱情挺有感染力的 真真觉得很惋惜 其他的一般般
絮絮低语的旁白，古朴美丽的山村风景，失焦放大的镜头，令人迷糊的哲学文艺范来了。
大概……是因为有过爱的洗礼？
Witch is nothing and everything.
成为男人，成为女人，成为狗，成为世间万物。感受生命，感受爱，找到那一个足以对抗命运的勇气。出乎意料，血腥又文艺。
我只能说我没看懂……不过确实就是部文艺片，非要强加一点恐怖元素，包装成惊悚片。
太阳升起，我的身体像一条河流，流淌了许久，却仍在原地。这是一个灼烧着、痛苦着的世界，但或许还能感受温情的火光。
