3.0 out of 5 stars
Two classics together, however, not their entire versions., March 5, 2006
While both movies are entertaining in their own right, I thought I would mention to buyers and viewers out there that the film White Slave is also under the title of Amazonia: The Catherine Miles Story. You can find this DVD here on Amazon from the Shreik Show label. This DVD shows more gore than the White Slave, which was the US release of the film. This film also wanted to use the title of Cannibal Holocaust 2 to promote larger sales, however, this did not happen. The movie itself is interesting as it is a supposed true story (not much on the internet about it, other than sales of the movie).
The Caligula film was interesting, however, it seems to serve to show Nazis who are interested in degrading women while stripping them naked. Perhaps instances happened, however, it was always my impression that Nazis elites actually avoided as much violence as possible so as not to be stimulated emotionally. They just gave orders, never did anything themselves. Otherwise, its a good exploitation flick. I like White Slave better.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Italian B-Drama packaged like porn, August 17, 2004
The Packaging makes it look like fetish porn but it's not. I bought it for White Slave, a good movie if you like the italian jungle survival genre. It's pretty soft compared to Deodata's work, but it is what it is...kind of like Jungle Holecaust meets Blue Lagoon. Let's face it, you don't want to whip out Cannibal Ferox when you bring your date home, but if you hide the package you can get away with this one. There's no sex in the whole thing, but guys will like the topless blonde and girls will like the whole "romantic savage" thing that guy she hangs out with has going on. The picture quality is terrible (felt like I was watching an old VHS) but it didn't stop me from enjoying the film. I wish it wasn't 30 dollars, and you may want to wait until it's cheaper but I was filling a hole in my collection.
Caligula Reincarnated...I honestly didn't finish it, but it was late. I'll get back to it someday. Lots of nudity but not porn, more like an honest attempt to portray Nazi shenanigans against Jewish women. Not at all sensationalised like Ilsa, not arousing and not intended to be. Just plain weird, and cruel...kind of like the holocaust itself, I guess. Seemed to be exploring some kind of love connection between a guard and a prisoner, but I fell asleep. I fell asleep on The Night Porter too. Nazi's just aren't my thing.
1 star for obscurity, 1 star for weirdness 1 star for giving me two movies on one disc, and 1 star just for being italian, minus 1 star for packing it like porn. Bad transfer is just par for the course.

5.0 out of 5 stars
All five stars for Caligula Reincarnated...., November 15, 2005
As a "kind of sewer" of these Italian sexplotation flicks, Capt. Freaky knows a good film when he sees one! The first of this dual DVD, "White Slave" was not worth watching or mentioning for any reason. Piss poor special effects of beheadings...no sex in the film whatsoever...and nothing to make anyone horny or subsequently enjoy themselves.
On the other hand, the second film, "Caligula Reincarnated as Hitler" was way better than what I expected. Just the exceptional location of Northern Italy's lake district gives it one star. Furthermore, the young blonde star of the film is gorgeous and someone both men and women would find attractive to sleep with. There are some five star sexual violence scenes that are unfortunately too brief. Beatings, whippings, gang raping of women prisoners, dipping naked women into vats of lime, hanging the young blonde star nude and upside down over a box of live rats! I mean, hey you "sicko" Nazi fans, is this something or what?
There are no actual hard core sex scenes, however, there are multiple simulated sex scenes that are quite hot to watch. I think there is significant sexual tension in scenes throughout this very good storyline. If you are into the whole "Nazi sex slave camp" thing....this is by far, the best of that genre I have come across. And because I only paid $9.99 for this double feature...it makes it a 5 star film for me by all catagories.
I am curious if there is an unrated or extra cut film out there of this, as another reviewer hinted at? If so, and they showed more actual sex, that would be the one to purchase.
