The premise
Three sisters run brothels protected by the authorities, abuse and prostitute young women under the false pretense of employing them as servants.
Horror Vault's take
Based on one of Mexico's most notorious real-life criminal cases, this 1976 film chronicles three sisters who lure desperate young women with promises of honest work, only to trap them in a brutal world of forced prostitution and violence. The film unflinchingly portrays the machinery of exploitation — from the corrupt officials who enable it to the victims who have nowhere to turn. It is a harrowing portrait of predatory power and institutional indifference that sits at the darkest edge of crime drama. Viewers should expect a deeply uncomfortable experience rooted in historical atrocity rather than supernatural horror.
