Perfect cast and a good story

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

ILSA, THE TIGRESS OF SIBERIA, is the third film in the ILSA series I've watched and my favourite yet. That's not to say I particularly enjoyed it, but I am pleased to report that it doesn't just focus on senseless and sleazy torture like the previous movies in this series. Instead, it has an actual plot for once, alongside action sequences to recommend it.The storyline sees Ilsa now working at a remote Siberian prison camp where the inmates are routinely abused and killed (including by a tiger in one memorable moment). She sets her sights on one particular Russian agent, but he manages to escape her clutches when the camp is overthrown. Later, Ilsa and her chums are holed up in Canada, where she once more runs into the agent she's obsessed with punishing.There are a few torture and gore scenes in this film but they're relatively tame and if not tame then at least unrealistic. Most of the film seems to have been devised as a softcore flick, with tons of sex scenes involving Dyanne Thorne in various states of undress. She's certainly an arresting beauty, and her charms just about carry the film, at least until an arresting shoot-out at the climax which is handled adroitly. ILSA, THE TIGRESS OF SIBERIA is no classic but at least it's less offensive than the previous outings and has a better story.

Another Ilsa film, if you've made it this far in the series then its probably safe to say you are a fan and Ilsa: Tigress Of Siberia will not disappoint. The movie is similar to the other two in that Ilsa is in charge of a group of improsened people and tortures them and has lots of sex. Unexpectedly the movie makes a bit of a switch near the middle of the film and the tone is changed yet quickly gets back to regular old ilsa business. If im not mistaken this movie seemed to have the most nude scenes of Dyanne Thorne and some of the most graphic sex we've seen her in. Like her first sex scene where she takes on some double penatration from two guys at the same time, and its not the only time she does it either. Another sexy scene was the scene of her taking a shower, hot danm. The kills and torture were also pretty good, the tiger in the pit was nice and gruesome as was the penis getting bit off. I also liked the part where the guy got caught on the barbed wire fence and they torched his corpse after while it was hanging there as well as the multiple times people got impaled on wodden spikes. Also note worthy would be the badass scene of arm wrestling over chainsaws and the line the victor spouts out afterwards is priceless. I'd still say this is my third favorite ilsa film wihch isn't a bad thing because She wolf and Harem sheek were both pretty bad ass. Tigress of Siberia lives up the Ilsa name and serves up plenty of torture, sex, and gruesome death scenes as well as continueing to make Dyanne Thorne look sexy as hell in a uniform.

Sick, sick, sick are the only words to describe this movie.Beside a nude Dyanne Thorne showing her huge lungwarts, there is absolutely nothing else to recommend this film at all.Of course, all the ILSA films were sick anyway. The worst offender by far was the uncut version of ILSA, THE WICKED WARDEN. It is difficult to ascertain which ILSA movie was the next sickest. In my opinion it is definitely a tie between ILSA, SHE WOLF OF THE SS and this film.ILSA, HAREM KEEPER OF THE ARAB OIL SHEIKS was the least offensive of the ILSA films but they all treaded the same general ground just to differing degrees of vulgarity.However, if you are an aficionado of sleaze cinema, these films are right up your alley but make sure you get only the uncut versions of each of them.

Dyanne Thorne's last adventure as the busty shrew Ilsa takes place in Siberia anno 1953, during Stalin's dictatorship. She's the heartless and perverted commandant of `Gulag 14' where political prisoners are getting brainwashed and re-educated in favor of Stalin's ideas. When his reign abruptly ends, Ilsa and her closest companions are forced to flee to Canada. More than 20 years later – during the Montreal Olympics of 1976 – she runs into one of her toughest opponents. She runs a chain of luxurious brothels by now and she uses her power to get even with an old enemy. The initial shock-values of `She Wolf of the SS' are long gone and Ilsa isn't half as creepy as she used to. On the contrary, her actions become more and more dreadful and this film is overall lame. There are a few ingenious torturing methods present in Tigress – like a chainsaw/arm-wrestling contest and drowning in ice-cold water - as well as a lot of soft-core action. Ilsa still guarantees a lot of voyeurism and she now even needs two men at the time, in order to be satisfied. The script is filled with unintentionally hilarious lines, like `Your body is full and warm, like Mother Russia itself' But…even a constant series of naked boobs and bloody mutilation becomes tedious after a while. The Ilsa-series sure prove that. These films have a giant cult following and I'm sure the diehard fans will still enjoy this final installment. If you're more like a random cult-film explorer, I advise you to stop after the first Ilsa film
