The movie

After being kidnapped, Jamie finds herself locked in a fully populated women's prison. The prisoner is then forced to fight her cellmate Sabrina in a ring with her bare hands solely for the entertainment of an unseen crowd. And the stakes are high... Someone close to each prisoner is in mortal danger; to save them, these women must fight to the death, their salvation depending on the outcome. It’s going to be bloody and brutal ! Raze is a no holds barred film in the « women-in-prison" sub-genre so potent in the seventies. Zoe Bell, Tarantino's stuntwoman from Death Proof, holds one of the main roles. Inspired by fighting games, Josh C. Waller displays every female archetype in the middle of an ultra masculine and scary world, reeking of sweat and blood. Battle Royale versus Mortal Kombat : a cinematic game awaits. Round 1... Fight !
