Movie Reviews of Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS

Movie Review: Disturbing
Summary: 3 Stars

"Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS" is a hard film to classify.
Is it 70's soft core porn?
Well, it does have the requisite nudity and simulated sex.
Is it an S&M/horror grindhouse flick?
Again, it has appalling scenes of torture and sado-masochistic action.
Is it a Nazi exploitation film?
Hey - it's "She Wolf of the SS" remember? So naturally there are plenty of Nazis running around, mostly busty Arayan females.
The production values are low (they used the abandoned "Hogan's Heroes" set), the script is mediocre and the acting is generally atrocious.
Nevertheless, viewing "Ilsa" is a disturbing experience, to say the least.

Summary of Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS

This notorious Canadian sexploitation cult classic is one of the most sick and sadistic features ever released to a general audience, and the only film that producer David F. Friedman, the king of sleaze himself, was so ashamed of that he removed his name from it. Statuesque, buxom blonde Dyanne Thorne is Ilsa, the ruthless commandant of a Nazi medical camp who subjects her patients (mostly naked women) through the most painful and brutal tortures she can think of to prove the superiority of the female sex to Nazi high command. At night she goes through the male prisoners like boy toys to be discarded and castrated the next day ("Once a prisoner has slept with me, he'll never sleep with another woman!"), until she meets a man she can't conquer in bed. It proves to be her downfall. Vamping it up with a corny German growl, Thorne leers with gargoylish delight at her latest diabolical tortures: grotesque, gangrenous infections, exploding sex toys, boiling alive, and a dinner centerpiece involving a naked girl, a noose, and a melting block of ice that leaves her dangling by meal's end. Directed with an artless bluntness and a cold cynicism, it's a brutal, nasty film, utterly tasteless yet perversely fascinating. It was reportedly shot in a week on sets left over from the sitcom Hogan's Heroes, and proved so successful that it spawned two official and one unofficial sequels.

Anchor Bay's restored print is letterboxed and reportedly restored. The DVD edition also features commentary by Thorne, producer Friedman, and director Don Edmunds, moderated by humorist Martin Lewis. --Sean Axmaker
