Love Camp 7

Famous for being the very first in the wave of sleazy "Nasty Nazi" movies, predating the Canadian "Isla" and the notorious Italian "Death Camp" movies. 2 young WAC officers go undercover as POW's in a prison camp hoping to get some information from a scientist that's being held there, before being sprung by the french resistance. Unfortunately things go wrong with the break out and they end up overstaying their welcome, They are then subjected to the same indignities as the other inmates. A few nasty scenes appear in this movie but by today's standards these could be cut by the BBFC and passed for release.

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.

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

The Frost/Cresse team are responsible for loads of depraved and memorable exploitation epics like "Scavengers" and "House On Bare Mountain" (w/Cresse in drag!). "Love Camp 7" was the forerunner for the more nasty 70's nazisploitationers like "Ilsa" and the more vile Italian rip offs ("Nazi Love Camp 27" etc.). It's tamer than those but Bob Cresse's gleefully, almost tongue-in-cheek, portrait of a nazi camp commandant is worth the price alone of the video. Oscar material!! The massive amount of nudity, rape and torture should satisfy even the most jaded thrillseeker + it's a historical important movie, sleazewise. John Alderman ("Erotic Adventures Of Zorro") and trash film mogul David F. Friedman ("Bloodfeast" etc.) are also in the cast. After "LC7" was a hit in Canada, Friedman backed the infamous "Ilsa" movie.

Frost went on makin' films like the bizarre and extremely un-PC "Black Gestapo". Cresse sadly died in '98 after years of illness caused by being shot by two undercover cops! Somebody should write a book on him.

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.
