Modern exploitation films need to do two things simultaneously to work in today’s film culture: capture the feel of the genre while keeping the tongue tucked firmly in the cheek. Black Dynamite succeeded, and so did Bitch Slap. They took the elements from the genre that worked and updated them for today’s tastes. Sugar Boxx presents itself as another entry in this typically low-budget tradition, and it certainly manages to throw in some sex and violence. In fact, when it comes to reproducing the structural authenticity of the films – having poor writing, cinematography, and acting – Sugar Boxx hits the nail on the head. Unfortunately, it never offers enough violence or sex, as per the suggested serving size typical of the genre, and thus the ridiculously low standards in the main tenets of filmmaking have nothing to redeem them.

At any rate, the film appears to have adequately captured the look and feel of this shameless little genre, and for that I have to give its director some major kudos. To be fair, as long as there are a few scantily-clad fight scenes, I’ll be in seventh heaven. How sad. Want a plot synopsis? Here you go: Sexy reporter Valerie March (Geneviere Anderson) goes undercover inside...

I long for the days when Women in Prison flicks were a dime a dozen, and although they will never be made as often as they used to, Sugar Boxx is here to bring back that sleazy goodness from long ago! Francesca ‘Kitten’ Natividad has gone back to her roots after working with Russ Meyer in the 70′s on the skinsploitation movie Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens.
