SS Experiment Love Camp

SS Experiment Love Camp is a 1976 Italy war horror thriller by Sergio Garrone
Starring Mircha Carven, Paola Corazzi and Giorgio Cerioni BBFC link 2020 IMDb

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.
