Our take

Bad Girls Go To Hell portrays a nightmarish cycle of violence and retribution through dizzying camerawork and disembodied voice-overs. Lacy lingerie, noir-lit bedsits, and a scuzzy N.Y. skyline bring to life this young woman’s flight from fate in the big bad city. One of our favorite Wishman films!
