Nazithon: Decadence and Destruction

Nazithon: Decadence and Destruction (2013)

** (out of 4)

Charles Band and Full Moon were being this 80-minute "feature" that has a tattooed woman (Michelle McGee) playing a Nazi leader who hosts a group of trailers to various Naziploitation pictures. Some of the trailers shown are: LOVE CAMP 7, THE DAMNED, SHE DEVILS OF THE SS, SALON KITTY, ISLA series, SS EXPERIMENT LOVE CAMPY, SS CAMP 5, ZOMBIE LAKE, DEATH SHIP, NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES, THE BEAST IN HEAT, SHOCK WAVES, SHE DEMONS, MAD FOXES and OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES.

These trailer compilations have become quite popular over the years and there have even been many releases with nothing but trailers. Band was doing this long before most as the 80s saw compilations like THE BEST OF SEX AND VIOLENCE and FILMGORE among others. This one here will appeal to those who enjoy such compilations but at the same time there's no question that this thing is pretty weak in regards to the host. I'd also argue that most of the trailers are in pretty poor shape, not shown in their original ratio and sometimes the entire image just jumps around.

I was kind of excited to see a docu about Nazisploitation which is what this sounded like. I'm kind of surprised there's not a serious movie about it (or at least I haven't found one). Oddly, a lot of the atrocities in these and The Men Behind The Sun series are historically accurate. This gives them a whole new level of meaning and relevance beyond the T&A and torture.

How annoying to find out that 1. It's just a bunch of trailers and scenes strung together. 2. There aren't enough movies to fill the allotted time without going into other genres. 3. Michelle McGee is the poster girl for Quaaludes.

Seriously, the connecting material is horribly written ("i love a man in uniform") and incompetently performed. I wrote the quotes in lower case because that's how it's delivered. Some face-tattooed bimbo with fake cleavage and an inability to sustain, let alone DO, a German accent just doesn't help.

The whole thing maybe cost $3000 and it shows in the format 1. Bimbo decides whether she'll try the accent. 2. She monotones the script 3. A graphic comes up with metal door slamming FX Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Save your time. Save your money. Save your ratio. Don't bother.

The best thing you can say about this atrocity is that it has a lot of nudity.

Other than that, it sucks.

It's nothing more than a bunch of 70's Nazi trailers and clips featuring full haired below babes getting victimized by Nazis. I never even heard of most of these films and the clips are moronic.

Oh and then there's the completely overly tattooed chick with the puffed up lips who is so not sexy. She's barely in the movie, thankfully.

In all, it's a bore
