The director of the infamous ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH, Mattei is much derided by fans of Italian trash because of his inability to direct a decent movie. This is a Bruno Mattei take on the women-in-prison genre. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 4 / 10 Standard exploitation film is right on Bruno Mattei's level Laura Gemser and Gabriele Tinti continued with another prison movie 'I Violenti' which is a sequel (not as good as the first film) to 'Violenza.' although Tinti plays a different character. Two years later, director Bruno Mattei went on to shoot 'Rats - Notte di Terrore' with many more rats - a kind of unhealthy fascination, if you ask me. Not for the fainthearted, however, is a scene where Emanuelle is locked up in a dark cell with a bunch of rats attacking her. The slowly evolving love interest between the doctor and Emanuelle is well scripted. It's a tough, dark, fast moving flick with an amazing Laura Gemser and her husband Gabriele Tinti as a doctor who helps her to escape. However, 'Violenza.' is a little bit superior to most of this genre insofar as it is not only into shower scenes. If you ever watched any of the women-in-prison movies of the 1980s, you know: prisoners are not treated kindly there. The reporter Emanuelle (Laura Gemser) is on an undercover mission in a prison.
