Red Heat (1985)

how not to make a WIP flick
17 October 2012
I simply watched this because Linda Blair has a major role in this WIP flick. But was I disappointed at the end. I thought that we would have a typical women in prison (WIP)flick and seeing the name Sylvia Kristel (of Emmanuelle fame) I thought it would look like the old Italian WIP flicks, sadly it doesn't.

It was boring from the beginning and even the story was boring. It was all so predictable. There was no reed stuff to see or any punishments being given to the prisoners. It was in fact low on everything. The only thing that they added was some nudity from Linda Blair and Sylvia Kristel. But Sylvia wasn't convincing at all as the leader of the pact.

Another example how a career can be a flop. Just look at both leading roles, Linda a classic in The Exorcist (1973) but a let-down afterwards. Even Sylvia never made a classic after Emmanuelle (1974).
