Just so you know that we know: This is not officially an “Ilsa” sequel. In fact, its lead is called Greta, yet it was changed to bank off the predecessors. So you know that we know and we know that you know, just so you know. This is, however, a Jess Franco movie, a director whose fan base is awfully split. Many despise him, and many enjoy what he offers, so this was admittedly my first time watching a movie from the infamous filmmaker. Gone is David Edmonds, gone is the original storyline, and in remains the shameless exploitation. Also, there’s Dyanne Thorne. How could you possibly dislike her? You can’t.

Ilsa, who yet again hasn’t aged a day, nor does she resemble corpse, is now a brunette warden for a cruel prison. Hey, I don’t ask questions, I just go where the boobies are. This prison is being touted as a clinic, yet it is being operated as a concentration camp treating “disorders” such as lesbianism, nymphomania or prostitution. After an escapee arrives at his door by accident, a local doctor is intent on finding the secrets of the camp. A young girl named Abbie Phillips agrees to go undercover, and the plot ensues.

She purposely teases women, and even tortures her slave with pins in a rather grueling sequence. Then there are, of course, shower fights, a transvestite inmate, whippings aplenty, and even a scene where young Abbie is forced to wipe the behind of an inmate with diarrhea. Yes, it’s all there. This is sadly the weakest of the entire series. Save for the performance by the gorgeous Lina Romay who plays “number one,” “The Wicked Warden” is short on anything interesting, and Franco really can’t follow up with the rest of the franchise. Franco does however stick true to the recurring themes of the “Ilsa” films. She’s a victim of her massive ego. She becomes much too confident and loses all control of her inmates. Hint: her end is not pretty.
