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.
@odeon Haymarket，这是恐怖片吗？在睡与不睡的量子叠加态往复。

结局我着实没看懂，但摄影配乐表演美工都是今年我进电影院看的恐怖片里最好的了
都是讲述有关种族的事，得对黑人的历史有一定了解才能看得懂。
1:这个电影剧情上和老版第一部有关联，建议先看老版第一部再观看本片。
[4.0/5.0] https://bit.ly/3zLCGet
21.9.27看完了，选种族问题作为背景挺讨巧，片尾的灯影人也挺讨巧，就是故事讲得一般般。
支离破碎的结构。难道黑人电影中如果没有突出白人，就拍不出好看的了吗？对着镜子喊五遍“糖果人”是一个很好的噱头，本来以为要大干一场，至少要有对抗吧！结果竟陷入了情感纠葛，与糖果人的互动寥寥无几，过于平庸。
欧美恐怖片的恐怖要素真是乏善可陈啊。都市传说永远不如宗教邪典来得带劲。
这哪是隐喻，完全是把种族问题赤裸裸的摆到桌面上，抛开政治不谈作为恐怖片是蛮失败的~5.0
宣战的话发个公告就行，没必要拍个电影，还很难看
好看的，比原版更好。/Jordan Peele可以算是恐怖片领域的斯派克李了（当初看喜剧的时候怎么想得到他能走现在这条路呢？
感覺各部分比較割裂，不算恐怖也不社會，也沒看太懂⋯⋯
3.5星 镜头和美术都没没得说，很不错，尤其是开片的颠倒镜头整个把我迷住，但是问题还是出在剧情过于直白地揭示黑人的内核，导致觉得整个发展都很刻意，最后的剧情有些用力过猛了。但是片中的body horror也确实很给力，尤其是最后的那一幕的身体密集的画面，爽歪了。
摊开来讲的黑人政治恐怖电影，设定跟配乐都挺不错，剧情差了点，结局像是我刚铺垫完就结束了？
恐怖的candyman在种族歧视面前也成了唯一的守护者。唯一的bug就是男主身上的蜇伤和烫伤是怎么蔓延开的。还有candyman到底是shaman 还是巫师？很多细节都没有交代清楚
美国社会需要一位Candyman。
美国社会需要一位Candyman。
本应该很cult，本应该更好。感觉后半部分太仓促了。
4:这个电影很明显的反应了种族歧视问题（当然，老版本也一样）。
