Schlockmania takes on two recently-released-on-DVD Italian-Nazisploitation doozies:
InterVision has also added some nice extras to complement the main attractions. Both discs feature “A Brief History Of Sadiconazista,” a featurette that has professor/film scholar Dr. Marcus Stiglegger discussing the history of Nazisploitation films.
The results are thoughtful and scholarly but never dull. He discusses virtually every key title in under 36 minutes, giving them an incisive treatment without ever taking the sillier examples too seriously. He’s also able to dispel some myths that inform these films, like the popular but untrue legend of “Joy Division” sex camps often used in these films’ plotlines. He has a lot of interesting things to say about both Gestapo’s and Deported, including how the latter is in many ways is styled like a gothic horror film.
And my idea of a horror movie is Bus Stop.
