This movie is disgusting

I rented this after hearing how it's a favorite of several directors like Rob Zombie and Tarantino and after viewing Zombie's fake trailer, "Werewolf Women of the SS" I was interested. Ok I watched the movie and I was pretty disgusted by what I was, now I will admit it's very well made for being shot in 9 days but this flick is too much to stomach. The movie is nothing but vagina mutilations and that is the worst thing one can do to a woman. I sat there sick and grossed out but I did make it to the end and immediately sent this awful movie back to Vulcan Video. I just don't get it, I never found the movie entertaining and this is fave of fans of grindhouse flicks? I don't know maybe they saw something I didn't. It's easy to see why a lot of crew and actors worked on this thing with pseudenymns.

Why do you think it's considered a "Nazisploitation" flick?

Not to be a prick, but were you expecting Ilsa and the prisoners to have a tea party or something?

Hopelessly in love with Uma Thurman, Ziyi Zhang, Emmy Rossum, and Vanessa Ferlito

I don't know about you but I thought it would be about the SS saving wildlife during the war from commies and other sub-humans.

I also expected Caligula reincarnated as Hitler to be a new age documentary.

Okay - I almost fall off my chair at that one! Ha!

What tosses my cookies is not prudes, nor the morally censorious in art, but the brainwashed vapid product of Hollywood brainwashing. The ones who are no longer human enough to enjoy being disgusted.
..
In truth Hollywood creates it's own audience, the symbiosis of the vampire and the vampire-sucked to brainlessness.

They create audience in any shape they deem and they can create the anti-matter of the current audience, the audience as product has no more substance than a shadowy blip on a screen caused by the dust mote floating on the lens cap.

Actually this movie is great. The only one better is Gestapos Last Orgy.

The movie is nothing but vagina mutilations and that is the worst thing one can do to a woman.

The movie is nothing but vagina mutilations

I can't remember that.

Where in the movie did it happen? It's usually something that really will make me switch a film off but I realy don't remember that in the movie.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the scene where Ilse starts yapping about cauterizing the bud (or something), would be the scene that was being referred to.

One of many great scenes in this movie.

I agree, very gross and horrifying movie. Worse then any Hostel movie.

Well what did you expect if you heard that this film was a favorite of Rob Zombie and Tarantino? That said I think it's a classic.

In addition to all of this, the movie proves yet again another uncomfortable truth to counteract the many arguments of either feminists (though some of them maybe more balanced and experienced and restrained enough than others and thus see the differences and truth) or people who generally just believe otherwise that, as uncomfortable, strange, weird and mind-boggling as it may sound, women can at times be just as evil, and often as strong but not in the right sense, as men, and commit evil deeds and destructive crimes.

And this goes to both war-like and peaceful times as well.

Then again, look up Elizabeth Bathory. And she committed such horrible crime against young females also.

I agree the movie was vulgar and laced with disturbing images.

But it evokes an emotion and conversation... therefore, like it or not, it is art.

Feminism has never suggested that women are incapable of evil. On the contrary, patriarchal societies are usually the ones who consider women pure and blameless. Feminism directly challenges that myth.

[–] Zombie55 7 years ago

Movies like this to an extent ALSO challenge that myth.

But online, SO many people have argued that this is what feminists actually believe, and in general, including that all men are bad etc.

By the way, I know I probably state the obvious in here but...

Sometimes, if you want to learn more about certain things in life, you need to read books on the subjects rather than just follow online internet discussions.

Oh I agree, which is why I find it odd that you are describing a tenet of feminism based online internet discussions.

Or have I misunderstood your post?
