Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A group of women are abducted by a guerrilla army and forced to work as prostitutes at their private brothel in the jungle that's run by sadistic warden Isla (nicely played with lip-smacking wicked relish by Nanda Van Bergen).Director Jess Franco and screenwriter Erwin C. Dietrich scrupulously cover all the satisfying sleazy grindhouse bases: We've got oodles of tasty gratuitous female nudity, group showers, lesbianism, sizzling soft-core couplings, a grim sordid tone, torture and whippings (alas, this stuff is on the mild side), lots of choice cruddy dubbing, and a moderately exciting last reel breakout. Moreover, the women featured herein are quite hot and watchable: Ada Tauler as the lusty and enticing Angela Delame, Monica Swinn as predatory traitor Maria, Esther Studer as virginal innocent Lupita Pavone, and Monika Kalin as the fierce Tona. Walt Davis contributes a decent turn as hunky and sympathetic revolutionary Chino de Guerra. Ruedi Kuttel's proficient cinematography gives this film a neat glossy look. Walter Baumgartner's smooth jazzy score hits the groovy spot. While this flick suffers from sluggish pacing and a meandering narrative, it's nonetheless still trashy enough to qualify as pleasing exploitation fare.

"Frauen im Liebeslager" or "Love Camp" is another film that director Jesús Franco made together with writer Erwin C. Dietrich and it is one of Franco's many Swiss production, which is why the original language in here is German. This one here was made in 1977, so next year it will have its 40th anniversary. The title is extremely misleading. Yes there are consensual sex scenes in this film, but this so-called "love camp" is really all about violence, about rape, about torture, about murder (decapitations) and about lots of gruesome stuff. You must really love Franco to find pleasure in this one. I personally felt it added almost nothing in terms of plot or story, was really bad in terms pf the script. The acting was equally forgettable. Admittedly, some of the girls were somewhat attractive, even in the absence of the gorgeous Lina Romay, but this can probably be said about every Franco film I guess. So this is not a reason to see this one. The only positive aspect I can think of here is that it was over so quickly, before the 80-minute mark. I am all for violence and graphic sexuality if it makes sense in terms of the story. Here it's just to shock the hell out of people and very uncreative. I highly recommend to stay away from this one.

Somewhere in South America women are kidnapped and marched to a concentration camp to serve as sex slaves to Marxist revolutionaries. To keep them in line the leader of the guerrilla forces by the name of "Chino de Guera" (Wal Davis) appoints a subordinate by the name of "Isla" (Nanda Van Bergen) to be the camp warden. Unfortunately for the female prisoners she is much more sadistic than Chino realizes and soon women are being tortured or killed to suit her pleasure. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this turned out to a rather pathetic entry into the women-in-prison (WIP) genre. Although it featured plenty of nudity there was very little eroticism and only a couple of the women, most notably Monika Kalin (as "Tona") and the aforementioned Nanda Van Bergen, were all that attractive. Likewise, having been originally filmed in German the movie was then dubbed into English which left much to be desired. Additionally, the acting was also quite bad as well. In short, this was a pretty bad movie experience and I have rated it accordingly.

Love Camp (1977) *** (out of 4) No one does the WIP genre better than Jess Franco and once again he delivers the sleaze and nudity. A group of women are kidnapped and taken to a remote jungle where they are forced to sleep with soldiers who are fighting the "revolution". No only must they put themselves out they also have to deal with a sadistic lesbian warden (Nanda Van Bergen). When you go to watch these Euro WIP films it's best not to expect an Ingmar Bergman type drama. What you can expect is a lot of naked women, wacky dialogue and stupid torture scenes and that's exactly what Franco delivers here. All of the women are watchable and the film's 74-minute running time flies by. The torture sequences here are quite tame and laughable compared to other Franco WIP films.
