The Plot. Lise Cohen is taken to a special prisoner-of-war camp for female Jews, a camp run as a bordello to entertain the German officers and troops going in to battle. The camp is run with an iron fist by Commandant Starker and his minion Alma. Starker becomes frustrated when Lise demonstrates no fear, and devises cruel experiments to scare her, to no avail. Once she realizes her guilt is unfounded, Lise begins to play Starker's game, but even though she begins living a better life, she doesn't forget the atrocities she has seen and experienced.The titles are the best part of this film. Other than that, I fast forwarded to the atrocity parts because it's really boring.Frankly, so are the atrocities. They make no sense.Not one of the better exploitation movies.

Hey – you! Yes, you: reader. Are you so jaded already that you consider "Salo – 120 Days of Sodom" a feel-good movie and the Marquis De Sade a decent chap? Do you think yourself as an animal-friendly and philanthropic because you enjoyed watching "Cannibal Holocaust"? Think yourself as the sickest of all sick-puppies and consider the term "depraved sadist" an honorary title? Yes? Well, then you've come to the right place. Unless you count snuff-films and the hardest, most illegal forms of pornography cinematic art, films don't come lower or sicker than this. In the 1970s, "exploitation" was the word of the day and film-makers were ever hard-pressed to find ways to cater to a rapidly jading audience. From the "Zombie"- and "Cannibal"-genres to "Witch hunter"- and "raped nuns"-sub genres, the "Nazi-exploitation"-films were more or less the logic conclusion. As such we could imagine the dialog between a C-movie producer and his underling in the 1970s, possibly somewhere in an office by the outskirts of Rome: Underling: "Boss, the sales of Rape-the-nun-films have gone down 40 percent last month." Producer: "Well, then film the butcher of some animals and splice the scenes in between the rape scenes". Underling: "No animals left in the back-lot and the zoo refuses to sell us any more turtles."Producer thinks for a few moments, taking a deep drag from his hashish-laced cigarette. Producer: "I've got it! Dress the nun up as a concentration-camp prisoner and put the rapists in some SS-uniforms. Then get filming." Underling: "But you really think our audience will consider SS-prison-guards as bad guys?" Producer (after another moment ofthoughts): "Then film a scene where the protagonists dine on "pot roast of unborn Jew", that should do the trick." Underling: "We still have some footage of incest and coprophilia, shouldn't we use them before the negatives start to fade?" Producer: "Make it so and be quick about it. I want to distribute the film next Friday."Think of "Schindler's List" being crossbred with "Caligula" by a psychopathic director (indeed, this movie has alternatively and aptly been named "Caligula reborn as Hitler") and you'll get the picture. In terms of exploitation-films I'd give it 10/10 points – compared to anything else, I'd simply call it dirt. Oh, by the way, if the answer to the question above is a distinct "no" and still find the strength to push the "play"-button (perhaps being a psychologist or have an interest in anthropology), keep a stack of barf-bags nearby.

It takes something special to shock those of us who chew popcorn through Hong Kong gore movies and watch the bulldozer decapitation scene from "Island Of Death" to cheer ourselves up. Blood and guts won't do it: if you've ever seen a movie like "Flower Of Flesh And Blood", you hardly blink at a badly-acted torture scene or two. Nastiness isn't enough: those who've sat through the rape scene in "I Spit On Your Grave" won't find any of the sexual violence in "Gestapo's Last Orgy" remotely disturbing. So why is this strange, strange movie more unsettling than any of the other obscure trash/gore/exploitation flicks some of us love so much?Unlike "SS Experiment Camp" or "The Beast In Heat", "The Gestapo's Last Orgy" isn't quite ridiculous enough to be camp...unlike "Ilsa, She Wolf Of The SS", it's not an outrageous bad-taste romp for whooping drive-in punters. Influenced more by "The Night Porter" than anything else, this unsavoury bucket of softcore death-camp swill actually thinks it's A Proper Movie.Director Cesare Canavari has a ball ripping off Fellini, Godard, Pasolini and Tinto Brass on a college-project budget, while the script attempts to explore Sadeian themes with some level of seriousness. Uniquely among the Nazisploitation films, the movie specifically refers to the prisoners as Jewish. But this is a movie in which Nazis sit round a dinner table saying "there's nothing better than a pot-roast of unborn Jew!" - in a "dramatic" boat scene, a technician can be seen kneeling in the back of the boat. It's a cheapo, badly-made schlock shocker just like all the others! Its pretentions are what make it so mindbogglingly shocking - what the hell were these people thinking?

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*"Gestapo's Last Orgy" is the touching story of a blonde prisoner of war and her determined and sadistic Nazi captor. He is taken by her lack of fear of dying and decides it would be fun to break her. He talks on and on about how one must fear death to appreciate life etc. He decides to try many little games to get her to shriek. My personal favorite was hanging her naked upside down while the rats jump for her head. AH-HAHAHAHA! "Scream! Cry out!" Yes, it was one demented little movie. Not bloody or gory, just reveling in it's own twisted nature. Many speeches are given bashing the Jews and how the Germans have every right to rape, torture, do whatever they want to them. Plenty of nudity and yes, there is an orgy. It's very well made. Surprising for this level of exploitation. I don't think you could get much lower than exploiting the Holocaust. If you like this kind of stuff, "Gestapo's Last Orgy" is worth seeing. Sick and twisted.
