Love Camp 7

I only watched this because I'm going down the list of British Video Nasties, and I can see why it's never been certified: endless bouts of naked women writhing under men who don't even take their pants off, and scenes of "medical" exams where they're prodded and poked you-know-where, and an extended one of bull-whipping of one who refuses to "cooperate". For impotent sadists only

Made in 1969, this is reputedly the first of the Nazi exploitation films but whether that should be looked upon as something to boast about is a moot point. On the one hand the credits say that all the Nazi equipment and regalia was hired out from experts but on the other hand the production leaves a lot to be desired.

Two British female soldiers are sent into a Nazi POW camp where all the inmates are all chosen for their womanly charms in order to please the high-ranking German officers who go there for their off-duty amusement. Surely German generals would take their amusements in palatial chateaux, not in some filthy prison cells as shown in this film. Perhaps so much of the budget was spent on the boys toys that there was none left for decent locations. The acting leaves a lot to be desired as well - the camp commandant, played by the film's director gives a hammy performance, to say the least.

It seems that no-one in this production knew how to film sex scenes. Any excuse was used to get the women naked but there is nothing erotic or titillating in this film. The sex scenes were filmed in the aforementioned filthy cells where the sex was nothing more than the men groping the women to the sound of guttural groans and moans. They did not even bother to take their trousers off.

This may have been the start of the Nazi exploitation genre but this one is surely notorious for all the wrong reasons. Exploitation films are OK in my book but not this one.

Well, first of all; I'd like to say how relieved I am to have finally seen this film. I watched this, and the other three boring Nazisploitation films on the Video Nasty list, purely because I wanted to see every film on it - and now that I've got through these four films, I know I don't have to suffer Nazisploitation ever again! Love Camp 7 was made before most other genre attempts, but that doesn't make it any less dull. The cinematography is less sharp; but aside from that, it's pretty much business as usual. The plot follows two female army agents that go undercover at a Nazi concentration camp in order to extract some information from a scientist. However, their escape plan goes wrong and they end up stuck behind enemy lines! As you might expect from a film called 'Love Camp', there's plenty of sex on display, but it's never particularly filthy, however. The film was banned back in the eighties; and I have to wonder why. All I can think is that it was simply thrown in with the rest of the Nazi films by a group of censors who probably didn't even watch most of the films they banned. The plotting is very dull indeed, and as you might expect; the film is very boring. Overall, Love Camp 7 is not recommended.

Two hawt allied spies go undercover in a Nazi love camp, (where women are there "to please the officers of The Third Reich") in order to bust out a spy. Or something. All the nudity distracted me. Anyway, they soon come to the attention of the camp's camp evil warden, who likes nothing better than having prisoners lick his jackboots, when he isn't thinking up tortures for chuckles. Mucho nekkidness and sleaze ensues before the tables are finally turned on the rotten Nazi swine blah-de-blah.

I really only wanted to see Love Camp 7 because it was one of the original video nasties, and I wanted to see it purely for the sake of it. Now that I have... It's pretty meh.

Being a Lee Frost (who gave us A Climax Of Blue Power and The Black Gestapo, which were also pretty well made) film, it's typically well made, although the acting is pretty dire. Although tame compared to say, The Gestapos Last Orgy or Ilsa, it was probably eyebrow raising enough back in its day, as it's no wimp for its time.

Overall though, it's just standard, nothing special sleaze, and worth a look solely for those wishing to view all the films on the video nasty list.

For those who prefer movies that degrade women and have an overflow of rape, nudity and violence, then this movie is for you! Maria Lease plays one of 2 women who are taken captive by the Nazis. She is one of the many women that are used to "amuse" the high commanders of the Nazi Military. The buxom Lease is stripped, hung, slapped and all other forms of sexual mayhem that come with being a pretty captive of the Nazis. An enjoyable film. At the time I am sure it was considered controversial.
