This notorious Canadian sexploitation cult classic is one of the most sick and sadistic features ever released to a general audience, and the only film that producer David F. Friedman, the king of sleaze himself, was so ashamed of that he removed his name from it. Statuesque, buxom blonde Dyanne Thorne is Ilsa, the ruthless commandant of a Nazi medical camp who subjects her patients (mostly naked women) through the most painful and brutal tortures she can think of to prove the superiority of the female sex to Nazi high command. At night she goes through the male prisoners like boy toys to be discarded and castrated the next day ("Once a prisoner has slept with me, he'll never sleep with another woman!"), until she meets a man she can't conquer in bed. It proves to be her downfall. Vamping it up with a corny German growl, Thorne leers with gargoylish delight at her latest diabolical tortures: grotesque, gangrenous infections, exploding sex toys, boiling alive, and a dinner centerpiece involving a naked girl, a noose, and a melting block of ice that leaves her dangling by meal's end. Directed with an artless bluntness and a cold cynicism, it's a brutal, nasty film, utterly tasteless yet perversely fascinating. It was reportedly shot in a week on sets left over from the sitcom Hogan's Heroes, and proved so successful that it spawned two official and one unofficial sequels.
Anchor Bay's restored print is letterboxed and reportedly restored. The DVD edition also features commentary by Thorne, producer Friedman, and director Don Edmunds, moderated by humorist Martin Lewis. --Sean Axmaker

Along with her squadron of deadly "black widows," she commits crimes so terrible that even the SS fears her wrath. But she meets her match in an American POW, who uses his sexual prowess to combat the She Wolf's insatiable appetite and bring her to her knees.

One Of The Most Notorious And Reviled Films Of Our Time!!!
Dyanne Thorne stars as Ilsa, the insatiable Nazi commandant whose sexual appetites are matched only by her lust for brutality. But as the Allied Forced advance into Germany, her depraved desires and sadistic experiments reach new heights of horror. What will be the final solution to Ilsa's reign of terror -- the desperate actions of the Reich…or the heinous revenge of the damned?
Ilsa: She Wolf Of The SS is a film so controversial that even legendary exploitation producer David F. Friedman had his name removed! Shot in secrecy on the sets of Hogan's Heroes, this oft-banned epic is still as shocking today as it was over 25 years ago. Now fully restored from the original negative, this first film in the notorious Ilsa series is presented completely uncut and uncensored for the first time ever!
