Bad Girls Go to Hell is a 1965 American sexploitation film written, produced and directed by Doris Wishman. The film stars Gigi Darlene, Sam Stewart, Barnard L. Sackett, and Darlene Bennett. The film contains soft-core sexual situations and is considered one of the director's first "roughies", "a trash-cinema genre that flourished briefly in the years before court cases legalized hardcore porn, and Wishman was one of the important figures in the form."[2]

Plot

[edit]

Meg is a Boston housewife, who is sexually assaulted by a custodian at her apartment building. Killing him during the attack, she flees to New York City. She is then befriended by a series of people with whom she becomes emotionally and sexually involved, all the while trying to evade a narrowing police dragnet.

The film is structured around a long dream sequence and features a surprise ending.
