The film has been marketed as the "most violent film of Finland".[3] Film director Jussila has said that his film is "a mixture of two film genres, action films with extreme horror, been practically one big love letter not only to genre classics, but also to exploitation films that could be found in the more dubious corners of video rental shops and on the prohibited lists of the film inspectorate."[2][4] According to Jussila, who has become known in underground culture for his smaller cult films, like Goremageddon (2011), Goremadeddon 2 (2017) and The Pussy with an Uzi (2021), Prisons is his most ambitious directing work. In his opinion, the film is exceptional in Finland due to its violence, effects and stunt choreography performed by the actors.[4]
