For the Louzil fan, this is Eric's first full length. Made with funds from his real job on a soap opera. Eric used his home in non-prison scenes. A lesson for director want a bees on how to do it on a shoe string. Originally titled, "Georgia County Lock-Up." If you look closely at the titles you will see camera folks and crew cycled in as actors. I love anything Troma and this film is for the true Troma Geek. Who doesn't love a women's prison movie?

If you are looking for something racy, race away from this. Poorly shot, poorly edited, poorly acted and just plain hard to watch. Sure this type of film is for turning your brain off, but the film itself is such a turn off the only thing to do is turn it off.

I am not a cult fan of this kind of movie. Not erotic, not anaimated, not good. Intelligent, college educated woment who like erotic will not like this. Don't do it.

Greetings From Tromaville!!

By now, the most devoted Troma fan knows all about Eric Louzil. He is among the greatest of Troma directors, and he does not let us loyal Tromites down with this gem, "Lust For Freedom".

A former cop who is trying to find herself is framed for possession and is taken to a female prison. Overall, it is a laughably bad movie that boasts a wonderfully cliche' soundtrack done by 80's hair band Grim Reaper.

If you want to see one of Troma's camp classics, check out "Lust For Freedom"! Also check out "Fortress of Amerikkka", "Class of Nuke 'Em High 2: Subhumanoid Meltdown", and "Nuke 'Em High 3" which were also done by Eric Louzil.

I only give this movie one star because that is as low as the ratings scale goes. If it were up to me, I would give this movie a negative rating. It was so bad, in fact, that I couldn't watch it all the way through to the end, although I tried. Why, you may ask, did I purchase this DVD in the first place? Here is my reason: I bought it because I wanted to see if a girl I had dated in college in the early 1970's was indeed one of the extras in the 'film'. I had been in love with Donna Lederer while I attended college with her in Queens,NY and she had always told me that she aspired to be a movie actress. We parted our ways and lost touch in the early 1970's. To make a short story long, here it is 2006 and I just typed her name into the Google Search Engine and lo and behold, her names comes up in the movie data base as an extra in 'Lust For Freedom'. In fact, they did not even bother to give her role a name: she is listed as 'Donna' played by Donna Lederer. Still, I had to be sure it was her, so I got the DVD and watched it. Fortunately for me, her part comes in the first half of the movie and as I watched I saw that it was indeed her, Donna, the girl I'd been in love with a long time ago. After seeing her in her acting debut, I felt sadness: she had a couple of lines and screams as she was abused by a sadistic female prison guard. Not a very auspicious beginning to an acting career. I searched the internet to see if she'd had any other and better roles since then, but alas, that was the only listing for her. I can only say that I hope that life has been better and kinder to Donna than that bit part in the movie. Wherever she is these days, I sincerely hope Donna is faring well and finding fulfillment.
