If Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion could be considered an unusually artistic 'Women In Prison' genre film then this follow up is 'Women In Prison On Acid'. Meiko Kaji as Matsu is even more mesmerising than the first film and delivers even less dialogue. Her hard stare surpasses even Paddington Bear.

There's still enough gore and sadism for this to be appreciated by the B-movie crowd but there's also such amazingly beautiful surreal sequences that it works equally well as an Arthouse film. My favourite scene is just after half an hour when they meet an old woman (or witch?) who proceeds to sing the tale of 'the 7 sinful girls'. This seems to open the doors of perception in this film and they never really get closed again. The state of Psychedelic delirium continues right up until the final eye-popping sequence set on a rubbish tip!
