Editorial Reviews

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), WIDESCREEN, SPECIAL FEATURES: Biographies, Interactive Menu, Photo Gallery, Posters, Scene Access, Trailer(s), Uncut, SYNOPSIS: Jess Franco has made some odd exploitation movies in his long and prolific career, and 'Love Camp' is one of his nuttiest. Never one to shy from jumping on a bandwagon, the title of this seems to deliberately evoke the legendary nazisploitation sleazefest 'Love Camp 7', and the plot in some ways is reminiscent of 'Salo', but with a twist. The twist being, that we aren't talking nazis here but revolutionaries. A group of young and beautiful women are kidnapped, taken into the jungle, and forced to be sex slaves for "the revolution". The female warden (who I assume is Nanda Van Bergen) is a sadistic lesbian and generally acts throughout like other film's Ilsa. 'Love Camp' isn't as explicitly violent as most of the aforementioned movies, and Franco seems more interested in showing lots of fle-sh rather than torture and gore.

3.0 out of 5 stars Yet Another Franco WIP Flik, September 24, 2011

This review is from: Love Camp [Region 2] (DVD)

One of Spanish sexploitation maestro Jess Franco's earliest directorial outings featured a 'women in prison' plot line and it was a great commercial success. Never one to 'rest on his laurels' Franco generated numerous 'knock-offs' of his own formula during the course of his ridiculously prolific career and "Love Camp" is one of them. Technically, this isn't actually a WIP film as the featured females have been kidnapped (rather than legally incarcerated) and held by a group of Marxist(?) rebels to serve as prostitutes for the freedom fighters. That minor plot point aside, "Love Camp" plays out exactly like numerous other WIP films set in a jungle locale. All of the requisite scenes of: naked showers, lesbian liaisons, punitive whippings, and forced sex are represented and the captured girls are all naked throughout. As with most Franco flix the 'plot' exists primarily to provide some kind of framework for the nude girls to prance around and this movie offers a particularly simplistic scenario and lots of nudity in the attractive female cast - so I guess it could be considered a success. Franco worked with a German cast and production crew on this one and there is a bit of a physical disconnect between the purported Latin American setting of the film and the decidedly Germanic look of the actors - especially the blonde 'rebel leader' Chino who looks like he would have been more at home in an "Illsa" flik. There was also a strong sense of deja vu as the jungle setting for the 'love camp' has been used in at least two other Franco films I've seen. In summation - certainly 'nothing you haven't seen before' in this one - essentially just a good excuse to parade some comely female flesh around - one of Franco's lesser efforts. On th 'plus' side - the DVD quality is excellent and it does have an English soundtrack and lots of extras.
