10 Types Of Movies You Don't See Any More

8. Nazisploitation

Imagine a Women In Prison movie relocated to a concentration camp, divested of its dubious feminist values and executed with all the artistic sensitivity of a snuff film, and you’ve got the Nazisploitation subgenre, sexploitation films for people who thought Chain Gang Women didn’t go far enough.

The true father of the subgenre is 1969’s Love Camp 7, but the most well-known entry is Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS, starring Dyanne Thorne as a busty, sex-crazed commandant who subjects male and female inmates to ‘scientific’ tests. Other examples include Nazi Love Island (with John Holmes), Stalag 69 (with Star Trek actress Angelique Pettyjohn) and SS Experiment Camp, whose sensationalist artwork infuriated British censors.

If nothing else, SS Experiment Camp at least has merit as an unintentional comedy. In one scene, a character regains consciousness and, realizing he’s been castrated, asks a guard, “What have you done with my balls, you bas**rd?”
