No way to end the battle of the sexes.

Warning: Spoilers
Interestingly enough, this view of misandry is written by men and directed by one, Al Adamson, a Z grade grindehouse sleaze fest with a bunch of embittered females who run a ranch where the intended target is the unsuspecting men who like naive flies crawl into their web. The initiation to become a resident of this house of harpies is to agree to be buried alive which is followed by a bunch of other initiation rituals to prove they've got what it takes to be a part of these alleged feminists who don't have a clue as to its real meaning.

The film is told in flashback by the sweet Jennifer Bishop, from her ill-fated relationship with an untalented Vegas club singer to her attempt to get out. She's rescued from her suicide attempt by cocktail waitress Regina Carrol, a rather rough looking female who makes Sylvia Miles seem classy. Once she's at the ranch, she's drugged up and basically raped by another one of the women, a disgusting scene with no point other than to titilate dirty minds. The only smart women are the ones told to leave because they don't pass the test. These females are also repulsive racists, truly vile as they verbally anniahilate a Mexican man they encounter when they go to Mexico.

The presence of Russ Tamblyn and Lon Chaney Jr. is a sad statement on their careers at this point, although Chaney died before this came out. The film only goes to show the hypocrisy of the director who used a serious theme to create an ugly view of that social issue. There's absolutely no point to this other than to exploit violence and show women in various states of undress. This is one of those films too that will challenge the viewer to even make it through half an hour of the film, let alone the full 80 minutes.
