Blitzkrieg Escape from Stalag 69

Product Description Germany, 1945. Stalag 69, a POW camp ruled by the sadistic SS commandant Helmet Schultz, is nothing but a blood-soaked playground for this perverse Nazi monster who uses his American, Russian, and British prisoners in cruel and ghastly biochemical weapons Review Blitzkrieg knows its job is to astound by cruelty, entice by animalistic imagery, and arouse both excitement and anger. It does these things with rigor, making it the most daring and disturbing exploitation roughies to attack the screen this century. A captivating cocktail of Nazisploitation conventions, Blitzkrieg pays homage to several of its disreputable ancestors by marrying the sexy sadism and harrowing violence of 'real' atrocities with pulpy and lewd exploitation entertainment. Graphic sex and violent torture, mental cruelty and shlock - these are the order of the day here. Director Keith Crocker lovingly milks every ounce of degradation from his repulsive scenarios, and uses a surprisingly intelligent story to explore themes of betrayal, lust, and hatred. Along the way he shows not only a penchant for celebrating the filth of this particular sub-genre but, in addition, illustrates a certain knowledge of cruel and opportunistic humanity, depicting us at our worst as women and men wallow in moral and physical cesspools. This movie is hardcore in its attitude, delighting in crossing taboos and pushing the boundaries of exploitation, attracting us with deviancy without any pretence at morality. --sexgoremutants.co.uk You can't judge any Naziploitation film by conventional standards, since it is aiming at an entirely different set of targets. Thus, it's largely immune to criticism, since standards of good and have run, screaming, for the exit. All I can say is that we were entertained and appalled equally, which is exactly what I wanted. I don't know whether Rob Zombie will ever get around to making Werewolf Women: in the meantime, Blitzkrieg will fill in more than adequately. --trashcity.org A blended genre shake with gore, gags and a musical number! History buffs might get more of a kick out of the outrageous happenings at the camp. Goretastic torture sessions will tantalize horror fans and sadists alike with all sorts of sights including an impromptu castration and bamboo-shoot finger tricks. If you love nudity, than this is the flick for you because it features plenty of naked flesh including the rare male frontal shot. Gasp! --firefox.org About the Director Underground, do-it-yourself filmmaker Keith J. Crocker (The Bloody Ape) was the editor/ publisher of the cult magazine The Exploitation Journal for many years before embarking on his first film, The Bloody Ape, an homage to low rent 1970s drive-in horror and exploitation films. Ten years later, he returned to the long untouched genre of Nazisploitation to deliver a ballsy, bloody and hilarious send-up of the genre that has garnered praise from all over the world.
