Sexploitation and Sleaze, 5 December 1999
Author: kevin-167

For those who prefer movies that degrade women and have an overflow of rape, nudity and violence, then this movie is for you! Maria Lease plays one of 2 women who are taken captive by the Nazis. She is one of the many women that are used to "amuse" the high commanders of the Nazi Military. The buxom Lease is stripped, hung, slapped and all other forms of sexual mayhem that come with being a pretty captive of the Nazis. An enjoyable film. At the time I am sure it was considered controversial.

The Godfather of nazi sleaze cinema!, 23 June 1999
10/10
Author: Jens Kofoed-Pihl from Copenhagen, Denmark

The Frost/Cresse team are responsible for loads of depraved and memorable exploitation epics like "Scavengers" and "House On Bare Mountain" (w/Cresse in drag!). "Love Camp 7" was the forerunner for the more nasty 70's nazisploitationers like "Ilsa" and the more vile Italian rip offs ("Nazi Love Camp 27" etc.). It's tamer than those but Bob Cresse's gleefully, almost tongue-in-cheek, portrait of a nazi camp commandant is worth the price alone of the video. Oscar material!! The massive amount of nudity, rape and torture should satisfy even the most jaded thrillseeker + it's a historical important movie, sleazewise. John Alderman ("Erotic Adventures Of Zorro") and trash film mogul David F. Friedman ("Bloodfeast" etc.) are also in the cast. After "LC7" was a hit in Canada, Friedman backed the infamous "Ilsa" movie.

Frost went on makin' films like the bizarre and extremely un-PC "Black Gestapo". Cresse sadly died in '98 after years of illness caused by being shot by two undercover cops! Somebody should write a book on him.

Not worthy of its banned status, 22 October 2001
Author: theundertaker180

Famous for being the very first in the wave of sleazy "Nasty Nazi" movies, predating the Canadian "Isla" and the notorious Italian "Death Camp" movies. 2 young WAC officers go undercover as POW's in a prison camp hoping to get some information from a scientist that's being held there, before being sprung by the french resistance. Unfortunately things go wrong with the break out and they end up overstaying their welcome, They are then subjected to the same indignities as the other inmates. A few nasty scenes appear in this movie but by today's standards these could be cut by the BBFC and passed for release.

Don't Take This Movie Seriously, 16 December 2002
10/10
Author: rogerun from san jose

The violence and sexploitation are best taken as tongue-in-cheek. By enjoying the exploits of the two WAC officers, Maria Lease and Kathy Williams, the movie is quite entertaining. Both Lease and Williams could pass as Playboy Playmates. In one scene, as the girls are being introduced to the camp, Bruce Kimball is unable to control himself as his large hands roam all over Kathy ("Bubble-Butt") Williams' backside. Kimball then feasts on Lease. Both girls have no less than four scenes each were their wares are sampled - talk about copping a feel, these horny Nazis devour these two toothsome actresses!

Absolutely sleazy and tasteless forefather of Nazi exploitation thats reasonably entertaining, 8 October 2007
5/10
Author: TimothyFarrell from Worcester, MA

"Love Camp 7" is the forefather of the Nazi exploitation subgenre, a subgenre widely known as being both tasteless and often dull and repetitive. "Love Camp 7" isn't as extreme as later entries such as the "Ilsa" series (also produced by David Friedman), and remains one of the more watchable entries. Sure, its tasteless and sleazy, the kind of film you could only get away with at the time. Fortunately, its also campy and over-the-top that you can't take it seriously for one second. The lousy production values also prevent this from being as disturbing as it should have been.

Ultimately, this is for fans of vintage 60s exploitation. It very much resembles the typical David Friedman product, and I'll leave it up to the reader whether or not thats a good thing. Personally, I enjoy most of what I've seen from the man. This loads on the elements you've come to expect from him - lengthy sex scenes where the male participants keep their pants on, cheap sets that look completely like studio interiors, often funny dialog scenes with over-the-top acting. The most enjoyable aspect of the production is definitely Bob Cresse as the camp commandant. Its one of the most deliciously campy performances I've ever seen, and Cresse seems to be enjoying himself a lot in the role. "Love Camp 7" is admittedly tasteless, but don't take it too seriously. (5/10)

Is it porn or a mainsteam film?, 22 September 2006
2/10
Author: them_cs-hc from Australia

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

It's hard to know whether it's a porn movie or a sadistic film pretending to not be a porno. Whatever the case, it's got itself banned in the UK. Which I would say was unnecessary, it was poorly made and acted but doesn't mean it's any worse than a red-blooded male can buy down at the porn shop these days. From a female perspective, the plot was lacking, the acting was s***, the cinematography was forgotten as was choreography and realism a joke. I saw "The Downfall" the same day I saw this, and to compare, Love Camp 7 makes you roll your eyes about the Nazis whereas "The Downfall" makes you a little empathetic. Certainally, Love Camp 7 doesn't make you hate them, as it's so over-the-top it's kidding itself. I found the physical contact between the characters downright boring, and you just know what they're doing is fake and unrealistic and a put-on to avoid getting banned, as nobody gets their pants off.

In conclusion, some women get attacked, some director had his wet dream come true, and nobody learned anything about Nazi Germany. Mission accomplished?

The Nazi's; the most boring extreme group ever?, 27 October 2006
3/10
Author: The_Void from Beverley Hills, England

Well, first of all; I'd like to say how relieved I am to have finally seen this film. I watched this, and the other three boring Nazisploitation films on the Video Nasty list, purely because I wanted to see every film on it - and now that I've got through these four films, I know I don't have to suffer Nazisploitation ever again! Love Camp 7 was made before most other genre attempts, but that doesn't make it any less dull. The cinematography is less sharp; but aside from that, it's pretty much business as usual. The plot follows two female army agents that go undercover at a Nazi concentration camp in order to extract some information from a scientist. However, their escape plan goes wrong and they end up stuck behind enemy lines! As you might expect from a film called 'Love Camp', there's plenty of sex on display, but it's never particularly filthy, however. The film was banned back in the eighties; and I have to wonder why. All I can think is that it was simply thrown in with the rest of the Nazi films by a group of censors who probably didn't even watch most of the films they banned. The plotting is very dull indeed, and as you might expect; the film is very boring. Overall, Love Camp 7 is not recommended.

The Boring Pioneer of a Boring Sub Genre, 23 June 2007
3/10
Author: Coventry from the Draconian Swamp of Unholy Souls

Even though they all look sensational, shocking and hugely controversial, "Nazi-Exploitation" moves generally are the most boring and irritatingly awful titles that fall under the cult-genre. There are some notable exceptions (like "Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS" and "Salon Kitty"), but the vast majority is just boring rubbish with awesome looking VHS-covers. "Love Camp 7" was one of the first (maybe even THE first) Nazi-exploitation flicks ever made, and it already sucked badly, so it's only logical it spawned a whole series of terrible followers. The plot is very rudimentary and implausible, as you may expect. Two gorgeous looking (talking in terms of late 60's/early 70's standards) infiltrate in a Nazi Camp where random women are picked from the streets to serve as sex-toys for German military officers. So basically, these two girls are prepared to be humiliated, sexually harassed and maybe even tortured, exclusively to study and find out more about the perverted desires of soldiers of the Third Reich??? Quite unlikely to find volunteers for that type of assignment if you ask me, but hey…this is exploitation cinema. There's an overload of full-frontal nudity in "Love Camp 7", but the actual sleaze and sex footage is – understandably – still rather tame. Nazi Exploitation gradually became more rancid and explicit, and by the time of SS Hell Camp (1977), the female cast members were even submitted to having sex with genetically engineered and super-hairy monsters. That certainly doesn't imply the later efforts in this sub genre are any less boring and inept, mind you. "Love Camp 7" hangs together by awfully written dialogs, lousy acting performances and totally intolerable characters. Enduring this film until the end credits role over the screen is some sort of torture on itself. Go straight for Dyanne Thorne's grotesque escapades in the aforementioned "Ilsa, She Wolf in the SS". Or better yet, avoid Nazi-Exploitation in general.
