One of the first Italian Nazisploitation shockers is also one of the strangest: John Steiner (CALIGULA, TENEBRAE) stars as the depraved Commandant of a camp where beautiful women are brutalized, degraded, forced to submit to female officers, and trained to be prostitutes for the Reich. But will a mass escape attempt unleash the most sadistic tortures of all? Lina Polito (ALL SCREWED UP), Erna Schurer (SCREAM OF THE DEMON LOVER), Sara Sperati (SALON KITTY) and Solvi Stubing (STRIP NUDE FOR YOUR KILLER) co-star in this rancid slab of über-sleaze from writer/director Rino Di Silvestro (HANNA D, WEREWOLF WOMAN), now presented totally uncensored including the notorious cork & razor scene!
We’ve got another dose of Naziploitation here and one thing about those types of movies is if you aren’t that keen on the sub-genre you also have it playing to the women in prison genre as well. It especially does with this film and while it packs the same lewd and crude things you’ve come to expect with any movie dealing with Nazis in the 70s, this one also offers up a very good story among the smuck to balance things out and make it a film that is even interesting by today’s standards with even none Nazi film fans. This is in part to some of the female cast that are memorable as well as the casting of John Steiner who turns in perhaps one of the best, if not the best, Nazi leader performances you have ever seen. What happens with him in this movie is also very memorable, but you have to watch to see what I mean there.
In between the usual stuff of women being used in every way possible, private parts being shaved, and the torture stuff, you also get a plot that actual is a plot! That makes for a nice change in pace from what you’d come to expect and while the movie can’t ever be confused as a great movie in the general sense, it is interesting enough and gives you the wild stuff with an actual point. That can be very hard to come by when dealing with stuff like this and if you have seen many of them you will know just what I mean. This movie offers up some good character performances, has a nice plot, and also gives you the same Nazi trash all these films have to offers. If that sounds like a good time to you, then check this one out!
