10 Essential Trash Films You Need To Watch

The 1970s was the era of trashy Nazisploitation movies, and none were trashier than Ilsa: She Wolf Of The S.S. starring former burlesque queen Dyanne Thorne. Intended strictly as a cash-in, The Beast In Heat is basically forty minutes of softcore sex scenes padded out with footage from director Luigi Batzella’s earlier When The Bell Tolls (1970).

The stock footage adds everything you’d expect from a WWII movie, including battle scenes, air raids and that guaranteed crowd pleaser, Nazi soldiers shooting old ladies. However, the new scenes add a subplot about a sexy Nazi villainess who rewards her latest “experiment” (a sex-crazed mutant she keeps in a cage) with naked virgins. Not sure about the scientific value, but it certainly makes for interesting viewing.

This Fraulein also conducts human experiments, though these seem to consist of attaching electrodes to the genitals of naked females while the watching guards lick their lips. Too over the top to be shocking, the violence has an unintended comic effect when a woman having her fingernails torn out says, “You’re hurting me!”
