Ilsa: The Wicked Warden (1977)

Her prison was HOTTER THAN HELL!

Ilsa: The Wicked Warden

Hooray for torture porn!  Ilsa is back but this time she's not trying to create an army of female super soldiers for the Führer.  Instead, she's the sadistic warden of a South American "clinic" which superficially functions as a treatment center for women who suffer from various sexual disorders such as nymphomania, homosexuality and "prostitution."  I'm not really sure how that last one is a disorder.  As you can imagine, Ilsa and her henchmen and henchwomen have sinister plans for these girls.  It's torture porn so I'm sure you can guess what happens to them.  That's right, torture and porn.

The plot is more complicated than Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS but it's still not exactly complex.  One of the inmates of Ilsa's clinic escapes during shower time, flees through the jungle and is severely wounded by her pursuers before finally collapsing at the door of a local doctor (Franco).  Ilsa (Thorne) reclaims the girl even though she needs immediate medical attention, but not before the girl tells the doctor about the horrible things that go on at the clinic. He makes it his mission to expose Ilsa as the monster she is and close down her institution, but he doesn't have the evidence necessary to do so.  Abbie, the escapee's little sister also wants to expose Ilsa as a sadistic tyrant and find out what happened to her sibling so she conspires with the doctor to enter the clinic as a patient to gather evidence.  Unfortunately, she gets acid squirted up her hoo-ha but she does figure out what the clinic is all about.  It turns out Ilsa is torturing these girls and forcing them to get it on with deranged men and sometimes women for a local porn producer.  The brutality is filmed and then sold as underground pornography.  See, I told you.  Torture and porn. 

"Guess where my baton is."

Ilsa: The Wicked Warden is pure exploitation goodness, and personally I like it better than She-Wolf of the SS.  I'm not the biggest fan of the original so that's not saying much, but this one really is worth watching.  This is the kind of film that people think of when they think of grindhouse cinema.
