gridoon "Horror of Hell Mountain" wants to be:A) A soft-core sex filmB) A women-in-prison filmC) An action film D) A post-apocalyptic film It fails on all levels, because: A) The tone is too depressing - there is one tasteful love scene at the very beginning, the rest is a total turn-off B) Only two of the prisoners seem to matter as characters - all the rest are treated as pieces of meat - and even one of them is ignored at the end! C) It's cheap - check out the fake computer explosions at the end D) It's shot in the Czech Republic, and that's it - there is no other effort to create a post-apocalyptic world.Even seeing Sarah Douglas doesn't help much - partly because she's beginning to look her age here and partly because it's sad to witness her huge fall from "Superman II" to a film like this.

Claudio Carvalho In an apocalyptical future, the world is completely destroyed and ruled by the tyrannical Stryker (Andrew McIlroy). He controls the unique source of food and uses young women as slaves to explore the mines in the Hell Mountain. When he abducts Shira (Nicole Nieth), her lover Kal (Bentley Mitchum) meets with the last professor on earth, Garrett (Jack Scalia), who helps him to rescue Shira.I believe that a moron wrote the silly and absurd story and the screenplay of this crap, actually a cheap sexploitation. The dialogs are terrible and every scene is a motive to have sex or to show breasts, butts or naked woman. The acting is awful, highlighting the "stunning" ham actor Bentley Mitchum and his inexpressively face. At least, most of the actresses have beautiful bodies, and the viewer does not need to pay attention to their "acting". Do not waste your time or money with this garbage. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Prisioneiras do Inferno" ("Prisoners of Hell")

Arctica Heck, I thought it was great - one of the most erotic films I've ever come across. I mean, you don't rent something like this for the plot, do you? The whole concept - of nubile young women working as rock miners in the most ridiculously impractical (i.e. revealing) outfits - was brilliant. I sure as hell wasn't rooting for Jack Scalia's rescue team. Please bear in mind that in England, where 'the real thing' is not to be found in video stores, this is generally as 'adult' as it gets. Having said that, I'd rather see this movie than any hardcore flick - this was far more erotic. The director and I seem to share a very similar taste in camera angles! And the hosing-down scene was awesome.Incidentally, this movie was known in England as "Chained Heat 3: The Horror of Hell Mountain". A sequel/remake has just come out on video: "Chained Heat 2001", which I believe is known in the States as "Rage of the Innocents". It's even worse than this one (in terms of quality film-making) and re-uses a fair bit of footage from "Hell Mountain". Having said that, if you like one you'll like the other.

Sailor-18 Well the name, Hell mountain, was a cool name I thought, and after reading the story in the the papers I decided to tape it, bad mistake! After watching it for about 5 minutes I realised that 3 of the minutes had been sex scenes, strange, but ok this might work out good, it didn't. The unmotivated sex and nudity happened more often and the cheap action I was hoping for collapsed under the strength of semi-naked (ugly) girls, and the post-catastrophe action movie turned into a pathetic soft core film.But if you are really tired (or drunk), then you might laugh at the priceless actors (specially the couple in latex).
