10 Horror Movies With Nazi Villains

8. Ilsa She Wolf Of The S.S

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.

Rejected for theatrical exhibition in the UK in 1975, Ilsa is your typical 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 Dyanne Thorne later became an ordained minister and co-founded the International Science of Mind Prayer Circle in Las Vegas.
