Helga, la louve de Stilberg

An unashamed rip-off of the Ilsa movies (She Wolf of the SS, Harem Keep of the Oil Sheiks, The Wicked Warden, Tigress of Siberia). The title is even a play on "She Wolf of the SS" and the tagline in the poster proclaims that Ilsa is nothing compared to Helga.

That turns out to be false advertising as this movie is pretty tame compared to Ilsa, especially She Wolf of the SS. Not just that, but everything about this movie is worse than She Wolf of the SS and the Ilsa movies in general: weaker plot, worse performances, cheaper production. The Ilsa movies were hardly classic cinema but this movie makes them look like Citizen Kane!

Not much to say about this low budget "Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS" rip-off. the women are pretty and seriously degraded just like in Ilsa. If you are familiar with the Women In Prison genre, there are no surprises here. The plot follows the same formula. The inmates suffer violence in various stages of undressed humiliation.

Only 2 things to note:

1. for some reason, there is no Nazi regalia like in Ilsa, but new and original fascist-type uniforms for the guards. I guess the film makers had some sort of moral qualms about using historically genuine authoritarian imagery, yet, they had no problems inflicting simulated torture on nude women.

2. The lead Malisa Longo is no Dyanne Thorne. Marisa Longo is a softer beauty with less charisma than the hardened queen of WIP films, Dyanne Thorne. However, Malisa Longo was in many more films than Thorne, including other WIP films, like Salon Kitty and Captive Women 4. Longo also worked several times with soft core auteur Tinto Brass.

If you have seen all the Ilsa movies and the rest of the more famous WIP and Nazi dominatrix films, you won't go too far wrong with Helga - She Wolf of Stilberg.

During WWII, the SS run a vicious work camp for women prisoners where they are sexually abused by the the female warden and made into sex slaves for the guards.

Another rip-off of the ILSA films provides more Euro soft porn and as with countless other sexploitation films is dreadfully made and acted. It was released in porn theatres as 'Marion, la perverse' and sometimes known as 'She Wolf of Spillberg'. Malissa Longo is the only thing even vaguely sexy in the film.

In an un-named banana republic, where a Nazi-style regime rules by force, sadistic lesbian bitch Helga (Malisa Longo) is assigned her dream job as governor of a women's prison, where she uses her position of power to satisfy her sexual urges; the inmates are also abused by the prison doctor (Jacques Marbeuf), who keeps the guards in alcohol in exchange for sex with the women of his choice. New inmate Elisabeth Vogel (Patrizia Gori) quickly catches the eye of both Helga and the Doc (must be the non-standard-issue knee high leather boots she wears), but being the daughter of a tough rebel soldier, she is determined to resist…

Ilsa, Elsa, Greta, Helga: what's in a name? This forgettable entry in the Nazisploitation/Women in Prison genre(s) does little to distinguish itself from similar tawdry fare, offering up the expected full frontal nudity from a bevy of attractive women, repeated forced sex, and torture-lite. Sounds like the recipe for a fun time, but the repetitive and plodding plot ensures that tedium soon sets in, while the unconvincing stock bird-song which accompanies every external scene eventually becomes irritating in the extreme.

It's a fun little flick. With the expected thrills and highlights. The production must have been financed by a trenchcoat company. All female prisoners outfits consist of a black trenchcoat and boots.

....and of course nothing else.
