10 Films That Were Too Shocking For Audiences

Rejected for theatrical exhibition in 1975, Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS is one of the few films that remains banned in the UK, which comes as something of a surprise considering that the sequels are freely available,

It’s your average story about a Nazi villainess who conducts experiments on her female prisoners, the kind that involve phallic implements and no clothes. She also sleeps with the men (castrating anyone who disappoints her), but eventually meets a prisoner who can withhold his orgasm and….well, let’s not get bogged down in plot.

Needless to say, the combination of Nazi imagery, torture sequences and softcore porn made the film a target for censors, and the film was banned in Australia and Norway. More surprising is the fact that its lead actress, Dyanne Thorne, later became an ordained minister and co-founded the International Science of Mind Prayer Circle in Las Vegas.
