Caged Heat is a Corman-esque B-movie with bare breasts and action. With his debut, The Silence of the Lambs director Jonathan Demme tried to make a guilty pleasure, but he held too tightly to the leash (there is no rape, gore, revenge motif or any attempt to shock) to make an honest grindhouse flick that could have been interesting in the intentions that you would expect from it. And for a low-key adventure flick that could be taken at least a bit seriously, it was filmed in a trashy manner, with cheesy dissolves and an even cheesier soundtrack. And then there’s the comical overacting. Bullshit.
