Fascism On A Thread: The Strange Story Of Nazisploitation Cinema

- 91:31

synopsis

Inspired by the success of arthouse films like THE NIGHT PORTER and THE DAMNED, shrewd and shameless exploitation movie producers were quick to the market with low budget cash-ins and created arguably the most sordid, if short lived, sub-genres in the history of the grindhouse: the nazisploitation film! This new award-winning documentary features eye-opening interviews / confessions from Producers, Directors, Cinema Historians and Ilsa (The Wicked Warden) herself, Dyanne Thorne, in her last on camera appearance.
