THE NIGHT PORTER predates this as far a Nazisploitation films go and there were plenty of roughie and porn movies with the same Nazi theme but this is really the one that set the template for all the sleaze and sadism that was to come from this much maligned subgenre. Dyanne Thorne is amazing in the title role of a sexy. castrating, bitchy commander of a prisoner of war camp. Torture abounds, blood flows copiously in what is basically a women(and men)-in-prison movie injected with a large amount of ultra-violence. A true downbeat classic of sick-o cinema!
There were 2 actual sequels, ILSA, THE HAREM KEEPER OF THE OIL SHIEKS and ILSA, THE TIGRESS OF SIBERIA and 1 sorta sequel, Jess Franco's WANDA THE WICKED WARDEN AKA GRETA THE MAD BUTCHER which was retitled to ILSA, THE WICKED WARDEN to make it part of the series. There was also a planned 4th movie to be called ILSA MEETS BRUCE LEE IN THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE which was sadly never made.
