Dyanne Thorn returns in the storming sequel to "She Wolf", and it seems to have been given a budget boost, as the setting moves to an Arabian oils sheik's kingdom in the middle of the desert, where Ilsa presides over his palace as right hand security guard and keeper of his harem of kidnapped beauties. The film doen't quite match the excesses of the first film in bad taste, and the camp comedy elements have all been increased, but there are still many gruesome scenes as the harem women are abused and tortured for various reasons, including a pretty revolting sub-plot to assasinate the sheik by deploying a bomb placed inside a womans body that will detonate during sex! Uniform fans will be pleased to see Ilsa replendent in her khaki shorts and boots, but she does not have the same prescence as in the previous film because she is herself punished at one point by despotic sheik, and its a shame to see that the film recycles her weakness of falling in love with a hunky American, which once again leads to her downfall. However, this film is still pretty extreme, but with a slant more towards sexual perversions than violence, and without the Nazi theme of it's predecessor its a lot less sleazy and offensive. Still way outside of the mainstream, though (and a hell of a lot better than the third film "Ilsa Tigress of Siberia", which has a cracking first 30 minutes, but disappoints immediately afterwards). A recommended buy for fans of the first movie, as well as one for any cult enthusiast.

Ms. Thorne is back as "Ilsa Hareem Keeper of the Oil Shieks",

this is another campy and enjoyable, ride with the Queen of

S and M domination. This was a real opener for myself who thought hed seen it all in horror, but no, as goes with the 1970's there were so many exploitation flicks out there, some

good and bad, that many classics like this get overlooked.

Thorne who died the first time playing "Ilsa" in "Shewolf

of the SS" is written back with her familiar lesbian naked

bodyguards overseeing the mansion of a maniacal oil shiek whose

form of "justice" means murder and torture for his own pleasure.

An American is sent to infiltrate the Ilsa camp and finds

himself in a world of sex, murder and mayhem.

Too explicit the famous torture scenes but they will make

you squirm and the budget and effects arent bad.

The Special Edition DVD has the rarely seen trailer, commentary

and a talent bios on the movie and director.

The bios section is pretty good too. Thorne describes has

its been a blessing and curse to play ILSA so check it out.

Doesn't pack quite the same punch as the first film, but worth a look. Realizing the camp value of the first film, Edmonds decided to just go with it in this film(he even says this on the commentary). Harem Keeper has a tad bit more plot(just a tad) than She-Wolf and a tad bit more of a budget(just a tad, mind you), but that doesn't necessarily make a better movie. This sequel, like the Leprechaun series, pretends that the previous film didn't exist and just plops Ilsa(who died in the previous film with NO way of surviving that gunshot) into another time and place. I hardly think you can criticize trivial things like continuity in an Ilsa film however. Dyanne Thorne is looking even sexier in this film with a new hairdo and uniform. I tell ya she can be my harem keeper any day. This movie goes more for the sex angle than violence, but there's still bits of violence thrown in for good measure. In fact, I don't think there's one scene in this film without a topless woman(minus the scenes with the two guys in the airplane of course). This one's a nice little time capsule of forgotten 70s drive-in cinema and worth checking out for a laugh or two.

Number 2 in the Ilsa series (with everyone's favorite 42" busted torturer inexplicably transposed in the desert lands of Arabia) is a slight disappointment, especialy when compared to She-Wolf or Tigress of Siberia. It does not retain as many campy elements to make the film as amusing (if not disturbing) as the two other installments (I exclude Jess Franco's entry in the series since it was NOT originaly a ILSA film and was in fact called "Greta, the Mad Butcher"!). Some over-the-top scenes are still included (that out-of-control dildo is just too much) and there is slightly more sex then in "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS", but the slow pacing and boring plot make it hard to sit through. Most will be tempted to "fast-forward" until the next shocking scene. Dyanne Thorne is still amazing in this film, doing what she does best: over-acting (I just love those facial expressions) and showing off her cleavage.
Regardless of the down sides, this film is still definately worth the purchase, especialy if you're planning on buying the whole "trilogy". One question remains however: Where is the third installement of the film; "Ilsa, Tigress of Siberia" which is much more bizarre, absurd and hilarious then this one?
