Charming and brutal

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Dyanne Thorne is Ilsa the Kommandant of the concentration camp in this Naziploitaion Grindhouse classic of the 1970s. She conducts private experiments to show that women have a higher threshold for pain than men and should be used in the front line which the Nazis actually did to a small extent.Some of the nasty treatment dished out to the female inmates include electro shock treatment to the nipples including an electrified dildo thrust into their vaginas. At a dinner party for a visiting Nazi officer, a naked woman is placed on a block of ice with a garrote like noose tied around her neck. While they eat dinner, the ice slowly melts bloodily asphyxiating her. There are open wounds covered in Typhus infected maggots as well as women being infected with venereal diseases. There is also whippings and gang rapes of the female inmates. Women are submerged in hot water and slowly boiled, others are put into a decompression chambers. In all the torture scenes the women are naked.The men also do not get away so easily from Ilsa. Right at the beginning we see a man who does not sexually satisfy Ilsa getting castrated for his shortcomings. The emphasis on the porn torture though is on the women.Ilsa shows plenty of her ample breasts throughout the film and at one point urinates on the visiting Nazi officer.This is a quickly shot film made in 9 days in the film lot containing the sets from Hogan's Heroes. Some of the script is laughable, some of the gore looks tame nowadays and the whole feel is more camp than exploitation 40 years on.The guy who plays the American inmate and who manages to sexually satisfy Ilsa because he can keep on going like the Duracell Bunny can just about deliver his lines in a wooden manner.There are some well shot action sequences at the end of the movie as some of the inmates stage a daring escape. As a film of its exploitation genre this is regarded as a classic even though it is a low budget, quickly shot and badly made film.

this movie is the worst, i'm astounded by the positive reviews, it is just sick for no other reason. time has not diminished how disgusting the film is. why? what does anyone gain from watching this stuff.....this film used to be banned in Australia, and i generally don't think anything should be censored, but the idea of people sitting down and enjoying this movie makes me feel sick - people keep bringing up the exploitation genre as some kind of reason the movie is OK to watch. people that know that genre, and I'm not talking about the Ilsa sequels. this one is pathetic in every way. i hate this movie, and please people avoid it like the plague. and if you gained pleasure from watching this film, please get help!!!!

As an SS officer during World War II, "Ilsa" (Dyanne Thorne) serves as both a doctor and as the kommandant of a special prison camp in Nazi Germany. In particular the prison camp is allocated a certain number of young women for which Ilsa conducts inhuman medical experiments upon. Along with this the female prisoners are routinely beaten, tortured and raped. There are also a few male prisoners there who are used for manual labor with one specific man named "Wolfe" (Gregory Knoph) who has managed to arouse Ilsa to heights of sexuality she has never known before. But there are dangers associated with this action which are probably best left unmentioned in order to avoid spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it. I will say however that this film is not for a general audience as it is quite brutal and sadistic. Even so Dyanne Thorne put on a very good performance and she essentially carries this movie all by herself. Again, I should warn viewers that this film is not for the squeamish but it pretty much kept my attention and I rate it as slightly above average.

Ilsa is Dyanne Thorne, a buxom blonde actress with little acting ability, as a Nazi camp commander. Loosely(very) based on the real life war criminal, Ilse Koch, the voracious lady tortures the prisoners, especially the women, in order to prove that they are tougher than men, and therefore, should be able to be allowed in combat. Ilsa loves sex, and every night she selects a prisoner for intercourse, and after the guy finishes, she has him castrated. This is repeated on a regular basis until she finds a partner who can go all night like a machine. This is pure exploitation, and the campiness is at its height with the set of Hogan's Heroes used as the backdrop for a fun filled movie. The only thing missing is Bob Crane and Werner Klemperer to complete the circle of insanity. Sit back and rest your mind for a while to escape reality with Ms. Thorne's sexiness.
