Tagline: Captive young girls... chained... abused... by a Madman!
Plot: In BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD, three female singers become prisoners of an insane would-be circus ringleader named Andre (Andrew Prine) after their car breaks down en route to Las Vegas. Andre chains them up in his barn along with the other women he's captured and "trains" them with a whip and a rifle. He also keeps a cougar and a boa constrictor in his menagerie. Meanwhile, his homicidal mutant father stalks the desert killing whatever he can, including any girl who tries to escape his son’s demented clutches.This low-budget exploitation flick was the second film from director Alan Rudolph (credited under the name Gerald Cormier), who would later go on to direct quirky critical favorites such as CHOOSE ME and TROUBLE IN MIND. While there is little evidence of his later work in this dark, perverse picture, it may satisfy those in a depraved frame of mind, though even they may be disappointed to learn that, despite the title, there is no nudity. Performances are generally good, however, particularly Prine's, and there's a nicely unnerving noise-rock score by Tommy Vig and even a theme song, "Evil Eyes," sung by Pamela Miller. Manuela Theiss, Sherry Alberoni, and Sheila Bromley play the three girls fighting to stay alive.
