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

Horror

Somewhere in the middle of the English countryside a former judge and a group of former prison warders, including his lover, run their own prison for young women who have not been held properly to account for their crimes. Here they mete out their own form of justice and ensure that the girls never return to their old ways.

VIBE

A suffocating descent into a private hell, this film feels like a fever dream of righteous cruelty. Its atmosphere is thick with dread, and the stylized violence leaves a lingering, unsettling chill. A truly grim and unforgettable experience.
