Dyanne Thorne, star of the groundbreaking exploitation classic Ilsa, She-wolf Of The SS, (1975) has died. According to the IMDb, she was 77, though she may have been several years older. My first encounter with Ms Thorne (and the twins) occurred in 1977 when I was 15 and my bother and cousins and I traveled to Piggot, Arkansas from our grandparents home in Malden, Missouri to see Rolling Thunder. The theater (I wish I could remember the name of it) had a special ‘Adults Only’ show at 11pm. When Rolling Thunder ended about 10:45, we ducked down behind our seats so the usher wouldn’t see us, then popped back up at 11 to see what we were sure was going to be some glorious fun sex film. The ‘Adults Only’ movie turned out to be Ilsa, She-wolf Of The SS. My life was never the same. To this day, Rolling Thunder and Ilsa, She-wolf...

Hey, well, Nazisploitation. Like a festering cold sore on a sordid decade, these women-and-men-tortured-in-concentration-camps romps flooded the market after the surprise success of Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS (1975), with Italy leading the way in tribute. Now, I’ve thus far only skimmed the surface of a genre I’m none too keen to dive into; that’s where Severin Films comes in, to hold a newbie’s hand and make sure he survives all the grime. The Beast in Heat (1977) certainly has the grime angle covered (and then some) in Severin’s new Blu-ray; softer sensibilities are warned to stay far, far away.
The story hasn’t changed much, just the players: Dr. Ellen Kratsch is in charge of Research and Development for the Gestapo it seems, and her lab is quite full. Sure, she handles the requisite floggings and such, but a true trailblazer as herself also offers female genital electrolysis,...

Picking out the lamest video nasties is not the hardest thing in the world to do. In fact, looking down the list of the 72 banned films, there is an embarrassment of riches. For every Cannibal Holocaust, there is a Terror Eyes; for every Last House on the Left, there is Human Experiments.
It is amazing to think that a bunch of exploitative, distasteful horror movies were so feared by the British establishment back in the early 1980s. In fact, they shot themselves in the foot when they made a list of 72 movies that were deemed to be too disgusting for the British public to feast their eyes upon. They made cult collector’s items out of movies that would never have gained any attention had they not been banned.

"Room 237" is hardly your average documentary. Not only does it float some very out-there theories about what Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" is really about, it illustrates those points with clips from both the 1980 horror classic and dozens of other movies. Every single shot in the film is from an existing flick, including ones from Kubrick, Hitchcock, and Spielberg, as well as classic horror movies and silent films. Moviefone sat down with director Rodney Ascher and producer Tim Kirk, who provided insight into some of their choices. In the same spirit of obsessiveness, we've compiled every movie featured in "Room 237," below “The Shining” "Lolita" "Spartacus" "Eyes Wide Shut" "Paths of Glory" "Barry Lyndon" "2001: A Space Odyssey" "The Killing" "Fear and Desire" "Killer's Kiss" "Dr. Strangelove" "A Clockwork Orange" “Full Metal Jacket" "Drums Along the Mohawk" "The Battle of Apache Pass" "The White Buffalo" "Sitting Bull at the...

Video Nasties for 99p? I can go one better than that. I can bring you several video nasties for a mere penny according to current prices on Amazon.co.uk (albeit they might be used DVDs). Most of my teenage years were spent trying to track down the movies on this list as, were most of my peers’ (well solely the boys I knew – the girls were too busy having pregnancy scares).
We would speak of the Nasties in hushed, reverent tones, swapping tales – “I know someone who watched Cannibal Holocaust and he went insane and didn’t leave his bedroom for a year!” I actually vowed I would never watch Cannibal Holocaust for fear of it sending me mad. Of course, whenever it came out I was chomping at the bit to watch it and I now regard it as one of the finest nasties.

Okay, so here’s a quick question for you all … how many dog owners amongst you have suddenly experienced man’s best friend exhibit unusually disturbing behavioural tics after sitting them down in front of the television and watching a few horror movies together?
Anyone? No? No sudden canine savagery? No impulsive howling at the moon? No gratuitous tearing of flesh? No violent rending of bone? Not even any unwelcome soiling of carpets?
I only ask this question as, in regards to the Video Nasties furore of the mid-Eighties, Conservative MP Graham Bright once (in)famously appeared on television and categorically stated that “I believe there is research taking place and it will show that these films not only affect young people … but I believe they affect dogs as well.”
But regardless of whether such research will mean poor Fido sadly misses out on his one opportunity to catch “The Beast In Heat...

I should have known what to expect when one of the leading promo quotes for Blitzkrieg: Escape From Stalag 69 (Keith J. Cocker, 2008) was from Uwe Boll. But I remained optimistic, mainly because Blitzkrieg is part of an exploitation subgenre that comes along so rarely—the Nazisplotiation film. How could I not watch it?
For the uninitiated, Nazisplotiation is a hybrid of exploitation films, sexploitation films, and women in prison films. Swap out a stalag for a prison, correctional officers for Nazi guards, and turn the dial way up on the torture and violence and you have you basic Nazisplotiation film. Gore, degradation, and sadism reign supreme. Buxom blondes in tight leather and bad German accents perform heinous medical experiment on their prisoners of war, but not before they sexually assault and humiliate them. No one exemplifies this archetype of the Nazisplotiation better than Ilsa, the title character of the classic 1974 film Ilsa,...
