Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

GazerRise Fantastic!

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Bofsensai My excuse to have seen this was as triple bill set up on the 70th anniversary Berlin liberated (really): it was the worst of the lot, but left some queries which you may wish to ponder if you still decide to watch this 'shocker' (literally for one of the unfortunate torture porn victims - and note, the only one who was black!) Such like, not only who bankrolled and scripted these stories/scenarios, since to the former, there's some decent military vehicles shown, but the latter, just who were these actors and actresses that allowed themselves to be set up for these scenes? Besides the visceral standard torture women tropes (one with the 1984 like rodent in a top fired upturned bucket on woman's stomach - latterly shown as cute wouldn't gnaw at a fly, guinea pigs (not hamsters), still menacingly guarded over by hirsute soldier that a modern hipster would be proud to sport), in this one you also get the guys equal opportunities full frontal tortured, too: one, inferred castrated by the evil female experimenter Nazi Dr. Kratsch (beautiful believable turn by Macha Magall), and later, equally full frontally revealingly (!) chained arms up, the 'hero' (?) resistance guy whose dubbed voice comes out like some upper class British toff! (Oh, and the tortured naked gals sport superb 70s hairstyles and eye make up, too.) Other 'interesting' tortures of both men and women, are former, beefy - but little (!) - guy hung upside down and dunked in water trough whilst being whipped by male Nazi guy minion, under the gloating gaze of said female Doctor and her loyal two cohorts (but y'know, some might pay good money for this treatment rather than confess?!) and for the latter, besides superb 70's 'big hair' beauty having her perfectly manicured (false? No way) nails extracted, then the caged eponymous 'beast' guy who besides every which way ravishes (well, its appalling rape, actually) plus relishes munching on freshly ripped off pubic hair! Mmm, tasty, n'est pas?Then, for the shoot 'em out scene, most seem to have taken their shot and die chops from kids' playing time, falling down dead but still shifting limbs about into comfortable reposes. It should be in the goofs, that one of the old lady hostages to be machine gunned down in reprisal, is held in place by the Nazi boss- yet himself escapes without a scratch! Plus the meek and mild until pushed too far priest, with his Clint Eastwood delivery style. So: your call on whether to waste your time to watch this one: either utterly stupid offensive tosh or vile seminal torture porn genre!

jenlee99 The British censors have a lot to answer for. By creating a list of films which in their opinion will deprave and corrupt anyone who watches them they have subjected me to some badly made, boring and extremely bizarre movies which I would probably never heard of if it hadn't been for them and I love them for it! Although censorship in the UK has been greatly relaxed since the video nasty scare, we are still a conservative nation and a few of those films still remain banned and unavailable since it is illegal to sell films in the UK unless it has a rating from the BBFC.The Beast in Heat hasn't actually been submitted to the BBFC since being prosecuted all those years ago and there really isn't any point in trying because if I know one thing it's this - this film will NEVER legally see the light of day in this country.The plot is really nonsense. The Nazis are in town and in some dodgy basement a scary female scientist (the superb Macha Magall) is trying to produce some sort of randy beast for reasons that aren't really that clear. Here she throws poor naked local lasses in with him where he rapes them to death. If this isn't enough she also tortures them in other ways as well. Meanwhile, the local partisans are blowing up bridges and trying to infiltrate the Nazis for information while arguing amongst themselves.The obvious aim of a film like this is to shock and dare to go where no film has gone before. It puts the film on banned lists and it rises to immortality when really it should have been forgotten years ago.Yes, the production values are bad, the acting is bad, the dubbing is laughable. The partisan parts are there to flesh out the run time and no attempt has been made to make those sections coherent. Characters appear and disappear, you haven't a clue really who anyone is and what they are meant to be doing half the time. Although the priest is brilliant, especially when he gets angry! Of course the film is really about what goes on in the Nazi basement. Conceptually these scenes are horrendous. Water torture, finger nails pulled off, eaten alive by rats. In practice though they are so badly done you are almost embarrassed for the filmmakers.There were a few interesting things I found though. The rape scenes are filmed in such a surreal way that it takes the edge of the disgust you should be feeling. Lots of weird camera angles and bizarre close ups of the man-beast are more trippy then anything else and completely at odds with the way the rest of the film is shot. Conversely the scene where the evil Doctor gets her horribly ironic comeuppance is shot in a more conventional way, much less swirly camera and loads more focus on her suffering really made for uncomfortable viewing.Also the ending is rather sad and strange and would almost be poignant if there where any earlier attempts at plotting or character development, even just a little.What I find interesting about exploitation films, even one as bad as this is that you can always find teeny tiny glimpses of attempts made by directors to actually be interesting rather then just shoot and cash the paycheck.All in all this film is likely to offend a lot of people, likely to bore the others but I have a high trash tolerance and I found myself drawn in to the film for all its faults and enjoyed it for what it is - high camp, tasteless, disgusting filth!

Michael_Elliott SS Hell Camp (1977) ** (out of 4) Naziploitation film has a wacked out female German doctor performing experiments on beautiful naked women. This is considered one of the more graphic naxiploitation films but I've seen a couple that are a tad bit worse. Like the others this one here is full of naked women, rape, violence, some blood and various "Hail Hitler's". The biggest problem here, much like the others, is that there isn't enough camp and there's way too many disgusting scenes including one where a baby is taken from its mother, thrown into the air and then shot.

Carrigon The only reason to see this movie is just to satisfy your curiosity. It doesn't live up to it's hype. There are a few gross out scenes and some torture scenes, but it's so obviously faked. The Beast doesn't live up to his hype at all. The sex scenes are all simulated and he can't even get it up for them. If you're going to hype a movie about a Beast that's made to rape women to death, at least get someone who can really "act" the part. I'm pretty sure I saw the uncut version, but I could be wrong.This movie is good to have a drinking party with and have everyone make fun of the fake scenes. But as a movie, it's awful. As a sexploitation film, it's not so great either, but as a curiosity, it's kind of something you heard about and just wanted to see what the fuss was about.
