Dr Doom SUBS
18th Jan 2016
 Rated 7/10
This 1982 Oz-ploitation bonanza is a dystopian vision of society in the not so far off year of erm.... 1995(!?)

Society's 'Deviants' (deviants being pretty much anyone) are sent to punitive prison camps to be reconditioned and generally used and abused.

This all leads to a 'Hunger Games' style finale where humans are the prey.

It's a very silly film but very good fun if you can handle the gore.

The opening credits intercut with news footage of protesters rioting across the globe (and being beaten down by their respective police/armies) are a clever and affecting way of setting the scene before the film even begins.

And full marks to our Oz friends for naming the evil leader of the prison camp 'Thatcher'.

Hee hee.
