Holocausto 2

This film is certainly the most unusual of all the "Nazi exploitation" movies that were made in Italy after the success of Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Salo" and the notorious "Ilsa"-series. It tells the story of some Jewish activists that take revenge on their Nazi torturers more than three decades after the end of World War II.

This movie could have been an enormously interesting turn on the notorious sub-genre, but its almost inexistent production values, the uninspired actors (despite William Berger and Gordon Mitchell in small roles) and the incoherently structured, badly photographed and edited plot become almost unbearably painstaking towards the end of the modest running time of approximately 77 minutes.

The only thing remarkable is some real archive footage showing concentration camp victims during the opening credits. But this "remarkable thing" only makes the film more dubious. "Holocaust 2", which is NOT a sequel, is nothing more than sleazy no-budget-exploitation without any highlight whatsoever.

Jewish inmates get their own back on their erstwhile captors in this Italian made Nazi revenge movie. Unfortunately it is all so jumbled and poorly put together that you rapidly lose the plot and any interest in the outcome.

Attempting to be a sort of "I'll Spit on Your Swastika", it is marketed as part of the sleazy WIP/Nazi exploitation genre. However it never really reaches those depths (or heights, depending on your predilections). There is none of the nudity and torture of many of these movies, and the violence is frankly plastic.

Whatever market it is aimed at, it misses.
