Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS

£34.00
A cornerstone of the 1970s sexploitation cinema, Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS is
a textbook example of the especially vulgar subgenre known as the
Nazisploitation film, dramatizing the atrocities performed by a sadistic
commandant (Dyanne Thorne) at a German concentration camp. Ilsa uses
male prisoners as erotic playthings and
women as subjects of medical torture, then brutally executes all who
fail to satisfy her unholy desires. Unlike the classical Hollywood
depiction of WWII Nazis as having a certain nobility, Ilsa reduces
fascists to self-serving monsters, completely lacking in morals,
performing quack science in the guise of medical research. Despite being
condemned by film critic Gene Siskel as “the most degenerate picture I
have seen,” Don Edmonds’ orgy of violence became a runaway success. Ilsa immortalized
Thorne as a grindhouse goddess and inspired three sequels and a host of
imitations, none of which could rival the shocking depravity of the
original.
