In praise of Dyanne Thorne.
Yes, you have found the infamous Ilsa movie, complete with castration for male prisoners who just can't cut the mustard and bring the camp commandant (Ilsa) to the Screaming O and "selection" of the most "fit" female prisoners. All manner of torture, degredation, humiliation and nudity are included in this film. My wife raised some hell after she saw that I had bought this 1970's exploitation classic, she was expecting another Schindlers List when I told her the movie was about a WW2 prison camp! Dyanne Thorne (Ilsa) struts around the camp in nice tight garments, riding crop in hand ready to dish out punishment for the slightest infraction, and she is good at it. Filmed on the former set of Hogan's Heros the TV show, there are no Col. Klinck or Sgt. Schultz in this movie, only nasty predators and frightened victims. Sweet innocent young girls forced to strip for inspection and punishment...and there is plenty of punishment. The carnage and torture just keeps escalating until of course the tables are turned and Ilsa receives her richly deserved fate. Despite all the gore if you can sit and watch this without cracking up I'd be suprised, it's so disgusting that it is funny. Dyanne Thorne is real easy on the eyes and does a great job. I love all the cheesy fake German accents. Your wife might get pissed too but this film is just to good to pass by, and there is no way you'll find it at Blockbuster. Buy it before it vanishes again.

Sex, Gore, and Nazis!!! Oh MY!!!
This 1974 sexploitation film has everything, and i mean everything. From a sadistic Nazi camp commandant (Ilsa, played by Dyann Thorne) to buxom SS guards to the brutal ( and I mean brutal) torture of female prisoners, there is little left to the imagination.The plot is fairly simple: Ilsa is the evil, sadistic Nazi doctor (sort of a female Mengele) in charge of a medical camp in which she performs amazingly brutal and bloody experiments. This is not for the squeamish. Blood flows and prisoners scream and die.In addition to the gore, there is a large amount of nudity and sex as ilsa enjoys having her way with male prisoners before castrating them for unsatisfactory performance. Talk about a tough grader! Nevertheless, Dyanne Thorne is gorgeous, and gives an over the top goose stepping, Heil Hitlering performance. She steals every scene she is in, whether she is [being with] a male prisoner, watching her 2 guards do the same, or torturing the female prisoners.The film is sexy, gory, disgusting and preachy all at the same time. A damn fine combination in my book.

The "Citizen Kane" of trash
For many years, I considered "Bloodsucking Freaks" to be the sickest, most tasteless, most offensive movie I'd ever seen. Then I saw "Ilsa." This movie's reputation as the trashiest exploitation movie ever made is fully deserved. I can't begin to describe it; everything you've heard about it is true. It is essential viewing for true devotees of trash cinema. Apart from the extreme gore makeup, the frequent nudity, and the classic lines of demented dialogue (none of which I can repeat here), "Ilsa" ups the weirdness level beautifully by having been filmed on the old Hogan's Heroes set. If you've ever seen episodes of that TV series, you'll recognize the locations instantly ... which adds infinitely to the movie's bizarro effect. A masterpiece.

Hard to find
Very campy in it's own way. Not something easily found. Wish some one would put "Even Hitler had a Girlfriend" out on DVD. I guess the title is a problem but nothing to do with Nazis.

Good if you like old movies
When this movie first came out in theaters I did not get to see it. So if you like old movies this one is for you.

IlAS Is What It Is Trip To Nowhere
I hear alot about this film and so I had to see it and what it is, a bad tash movie with no story line worth anyone time to watch, nothing can save it, not even it's nude of sexy ladies can save it at all. Just a all around bad movie out of 70's. Cult Classic, it isn't, just everyday tash movie. Sorry I even waste my time with it. No thriller, but cheesy bad movie.
