Overview: 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.

4k Blu-ray Verdict: Although this genre of erotic horror film is admittedly not for everyone, those who do enjoy raunchy retro Euro horror will find a few delectable morsels here.

The basic premise is really good - a Nazi medical camp has been established during WWII for the purpose of conducting various unethical experiments on prisoners of war. A group of fairly hot German soldiers arrives on orders, to participate in the latest program: Having intercourse daily with various female POWs to teach them a lesson and identify which of the men is the most virile.

The film shines during the brief and few barrack’s scenes, when the handsome, bare-chested and muscular men lounge around in their boxers comparing notes about the women they are assigned to plow night after night (all in the same room together, as the medical staff watches and takes notes). Even better are a handful of brief-but-convincing intercourse scenes, showing the boys doing what boys do when given a willing partner.

Less entertaining are the obligatory women behind bars scenes. As in the other entries in this genre, these scenes give the impression that WWII was staffed and fought by women and that women were everywhere you looked on military bases. Nothing could be further from the truth and these scenes, along with the obligatory boy-meets-girl romance subplot, bring the film to a grinding halt.

Things kick in to high gear during the third act, when we discover why the lead officer is looking for the most virile stud he can find ... and what follows is a wild 20-minute ride filled with surprises and a very satisfying conclusion.
