Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS (English review)

Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS (Don Edmonds/Usa, RFT/1975)

Duration : 96’ Genre : War, horror, erotic

 

Ilsa is a nazi officer and a sadistic doctor leading violent experiments against pow like sexual penetration and also castration against other nazi officer suspected to be impotent…

First movie introducing the WW2  blondie female antihero who in the name of her creepy and dark side uniform follow an extreme body ideology based on any kind of humiliation. Maybe Isla has nothing iconic but she is for sure the merciless face of the subgenre qualified as nazixploitation issuing at the end of the 70’s dozen of movie. Staring Dyanne Thorne and followed by  “Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks” and “Ilsa the Tigress of Siberia” it was filmed on the same set set for “Hogan’s Heroes” and quoted by the singer/director Rob Zombie in the fake Grindhouse trailer’s “Werewolf Women of the SS”.
