10 Ridiculously Outrageous Video Nasties

1. The Gestapo's Last Orgy

Gestapos Orgy Out of all the films on this list, The Gestapo's Last Orgy is easily the most reprehensible. As in, you're probably going to go to hell for watching it. Except cross out probably and write definitely. Where to even begin with this one? Well, it's trying to glamorize the sexual abuse that took place at Nazi concentration camps during the war, for a start. There's plenty of rape and torture to go around, and acts so deviant they would make a porn star go white and steady themselves on the furniture. Not to put too fine a point on it, but the film features a scene where a young Jewish woman is forced to wear a belt made of Jewish scalps while having sex. What can you really say about a movie that thinks that's OK? Oh, and don't forget the fact that they apparently kill and eat Jewish babies. One of the Nazi guards confidently comments that one day, the Jewish people will be used exclusively as a food source. There's something almost upsetting about the fact that anyone felt this film needed to be made, and while film censorship is an undeniable hit on artistic expression, it's easy to see where Mary Whitehouse was coming from on this one.
