Bad Girls Go to Hell

In this 1965 American sexploitation film, writer, producer, and director Doris Wishman crafts a story that explores the darker corners of women's lives. After being sexually assaulted by her apartment building's janitor, homemaker Ellen flees to New York City, where she assumes a new identity but finds herself confronting further exploitation and violence at the hands of various men. As her dreamlike reality blurs with her waking life, Ellen must confront the harsh realities of her own trauma and the societal norms that seek to control her. This film is a haunting, surreal exploration of the ways in which women's bodies are politicized and exploited.
