Dyanne Thorne is the most Badass actress ever. From these ILSA films to Point of Terror and even her return with House of Forbidden Secrets... she always impresses with a ferocity and command of the screen that very few can match. This film was a sleazy drive in movie classic from beginning to end, but it had a good story and some terrific acting from Dyanne as well as Howard Maurer. No spoilers here, but if you like trashy fun movies that push the envelope of good taste, you will LOVE this movie.

This follow-up to ILSA, SHE WOLF OF THE SS is another grisly sexploitation movie that mixes depraved violence and torture with endless softcore sex sequences. The film retains the same star and director as the first, although thankfully the unpleasant sequences have been toned down making this a lot tamer. I still found it deeply unpleasant in terms of the violence meted out towards the female cast members.The story sees Ilsa relocated to the Middle East (or North Africa, it never makes it clear), where she runs the harem of a rich oil sheik. Inevitably she's a sadist at heart, dishing out all manner of depraved and sadistic torture to anybody who dares cross her; the 'highlight' involves one girl being gradually destroyed by various unpleasant methods including flesh-eating ants and an exploding dildo.Much of the running time is padded out with big breasted women either being stripped or taking part in simulated sex, while some crashingly dull sub-plots involve spies and an attempt to liberate the oppressed. Dyanne Thorne's acting is poor, to say the least, but she does have a lot of presence as the statuesque anti-heroine. The all-action ending is unbelievable but at least it offers incident away from the endless sex and violence.

In this sequel to "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS" we find that the lead character named "Ilsa" (Dyanne Thorne) has somehow miraculously escaped certain death and is now employed as the madam of a harem belonging to an oil sheik by the name of "El Sharif" (Jerry Delony). Besides being cruel and sadistic El Sharif also has a voracious appetite for new women and because of that Ilsa has gone out of her way to satisfy his lust by kidnapping 3 prominent young women from abroad. What neither of them realize is that this action--along with his tampering of the oil supply to the West--has generated a certain amount of attention which isn't necessarily favorable. As a result a diplomat is dispatched to talk to him about the oil disruption along with an undercover agent named "Adam Scott" (Max Thayer) who seeks to investigate his illegal sex trafficking. Now rather than disclose any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this movie seemed slightly more polished than its predecessor. Along with that I should also add that although these movies are certainly sleazy I don't believe they are meant to be taken seriously. For that reason those with rigid sensibilities might want to consider something else if possible. In any case, while this certainly wasn't a great movie by any means I still found it to be somewhat entertaining and I rate it as slightly above average.

Dyanne Thorne is at her campy (and sultry) finest in this second installment of the Ilsa series, delivering juicy dialogue with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Kudos also go to Victor Alexander, who plays the degenerate Sheik El Sharif to the hilt, as well as C.D. Lafleur for his hilarious Henry Kissinger impersonation. Lest anyone should think this is a comedy, well, it is, sorta... It's also one of the most over the top sleaze fests you'll ever witness. As the old saying goes, they don't make 'em like this anymore. As Harem Keeper begins, we find Ilsa at the head of a white slave ring where her primary duty is to train innocent young girls for service in the lecherous El Sharif's harem. When she's not instructing recruits on proper "tongue" technique, Ilsa also busies herself adding to her stable of eunuchs with the help of her lesbian henchwomen, Satin and Velvet. Yes, Ilsa is your classic man-hater, but the frigid ice goddess soon melts in the arms of the studly American diplomat, who's actually a spy intent on overthrowing the sheik's corrupt government. But let's not let trivial details such as story get in the way of a great performance by Ms. Thorne, who shifts between wicked witch and giggly schoolgirl with ease. Marvel as Ilsa succumbs to her own lustful desires and falls under the spell of some good ol' fashioned "manpower!" Think of it as an adult comic book come to life, full of hardcore gore (at least by 70s standards) and softcore sex, and enjoy it for what is is - trashy exploitation at its best.
