SS Experiment Love Camp is a 1976 Italy war horror thriller by Sergio Garrone
Starring Mircha Carven, Paola Corazzi and Giorgio Cerioni
Banned as a video nasty in 1983. Released uncut on 18 rated 2006 DVD. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Thanks to Mike. The film made the news in 2021 when it was part of a shopping list of material found in the possession of a man in court
on far right terrorist charges. See article from bbc.co.uk The second UK release by 'Blackhorse Entertainment' is completely uncut. A second release was required as due to a production mistake, the film 'Love Camp' starring Laura Gemser was on the DVD
instead. This first version can be identified by the stills of Laura Gemser on the back cover. Summary Notes Near the end of WW2, prisoners of war are used in experiments to
perfect the "Aryan" race.
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Promotional Material Possibly the most infamous entry into the Nazisploitation genre, Sergio Garrone's SS Experiment Camp is a harrowing and deliberately triggering experience which, even by today's
standards is as powerful as it was when originally released in 1976. From its provocative, tabloid baiting original poster of a naked woman dangling crucified and naked, the movie pushed the boundaries as far as it could. Set during the tail-end of World
War II we follow the deranged experiments performed on innocent prisoners of war by the utterly sadistic and evil Colonel von Kleiben in his attempt to create the perfect Aryan race. Shocking, notorious and endlessly exploitative, the movie continues to
disgust audiences all over the globe nearly 50 years after its initial release. Bonus Materials

Promotional Material THEY WILL RISE TO SUCK THE BLOOD OF THE LIVING! From the sleazy video nasty vaults comes a movie so stained with controversy and moral
indignation that the very mention of its name sends shudders down the spines of the weak-stomached and censorious -- Zombie Flesh Eaters . A gut-munching, shark-wrestling, eye-gouging orgy of mud-caked undead terror and
Italian splatter from the dark imagination of horror genius Lucio Fulci ( The House by the Cemetery , City of the Living Dead ). An abandoned boat in New York Harbour unleashes
a dead flesh-crazed Zombie cargo... A young American woman and a journalist investigate a tropical island where a deadly disease is making the dead walk... Soon, thoughts of getting to the bottom of the murderous curse will be forgotten, as Fulcis
walking corpses overwhelm the living and reports come in that the Big Apple is swarming with the living dead... After over 45 years, Zombie Flesh Eaters still has the power to shock and offend the unwilling.

The Cannibal Man is a 1972 Spanish thriller by Eloy de la Iglesia.
With Vicente Parra, Emma Cohen and Eusebio Poncela.
Banned as a video nasty in 1983. Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated VHS in 1993. Later passed 15 uncut for 2025 Blu-ray. There is also an extended integral version assembled from unique footage from several other versions, such as the German
Cinema Version. Summary Review: Pseudo-sleazy Real slaughterhouse footage and scenes of dirty urban slums set the tone for this stark and obsessive Spanish thriller.
A slaughterhouse employee named Marcos gets attacked by a cabdriver who takes objection when he and his girlfriend are making out in the back seat, and Marcos kills him. This sets in motion a week of killing, first to cover up the
cabdriver's death, and afterward to keep the bodies piling up in his bedroom a s ecret. Weird, pseudo-sleazy film that works even though it doesn't even attempt to live up to its title - there's *no cannibalism*.
The dubbing is pretty bad and there's not much gore (most of the nastiness happens off-screen), but there's plenty of atmosphere and a sense of desperation builds in Marco's apartment.
