House of Whipcord

“Only young girls may enter and no one leaves...”

A retired judge and a crew of former prison warders, one of them his lover, have set up their own jail in the English countryside. Mrs. Wakehurst (Barbara Markham) and Justice Bailey (Patrick Barr) fill it with young women the courts let off too lightly, and they hand out their own punishments. Pete Walker shoots it in flat, grainy 70s light, with a low-budget grit that leaves nowhere in the building to look away.
