Love Camp 7 (1969) 4/10

Supposedly Love Camp 7 is the first in the obscure line of nazisploitation films of the 70's. It was one of the original video nasties from the U.K. video ban in the mid 80's and is still banned there. The film has become one of the most obscure of an already obscure sub-genre of a sub-genre, and rightfully so.

Love Camp 7 chronicles two female spies planted in a Nazi brothel by British Officials. Their mission is to find an important scientist whom is imprisoned within the camp and plan an escape so that her information can be acquired by the allies.

This one is quite a stinker. The plot is dreadfully slow and like most nazisploitation films is filled with nudity, bordering on sexploitation. The film has almost no action and is super low budget. Most of the plot involves high ranking officials torturing and raping women. Not my cup of tea. So the film is repulsive and boring at the same time. I didn't think that was possible but here I stand corrected. If you haven't already, check out Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS or SS Hell Camp for nazisploitation that doesn't dissappoint.

Bottom line: the film is for video nasty & nazisploitation completists only.

Gore - mild
Nudity- tons
Overall - 4/10
