Crimson, also known as The Man With The Severed Head (which was the title this film previously debuted under on Arrow’s Arrowdrome label), opens up with a nice gang of criminals taking part in the lovely of activity of robbing a jewelery store. However, it all goes pear shaped when due to well placed idiocy (oh the film world, we do love you) one of the criminals sets off an alarm while trying to steal a lovely pearl necklace. The gang tries to escape but disaster strikes when Paul Naschy’s character gets shot in the head. Realizing that they can’t exactly take him to a hospital they do the next best thing and seek help from a doctor friend of theirs who is somewhat indebted to them.

As much as I adore exploitation cinema, I have to say that Nazisploitation is one of the least enjoyable branches in this crusty, inbred cinematic family tree. There are only a handful of titles I enjoy from the genre and yes, I think Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS is probably one of the most overrated pieces of exploitation cinema ever. I just find the genre to be lazy, repetitive and wide of the mark. Will Patrice Rhomm’s French offering – Elsa Fraulein SS – be one of the few exceptions? Unfortunately not.
So, the story is simple. Things aren’t going too well for the Third Reich. They’re getting a battering from Allied Forces causing...

Stars: Patrizia Gori, Malisa Longo, Richard Allan, Dominique Aveline, Alban Ceray, Jacques Marbeuf, Jean Cherlian, Claude Janna, Olivier Mathot, Carmelo Petix | Written by H.L. Rostaine | Directed by Patrice Rohmm
Initially in charge of propaganda within an oppressive South African government, Helga (Malisa Longo) is demoted to being in charge of looking after a group of recently captured rebel female prisoners. She rules Chateau Stilberg with an iron fist whilst having an insatiable appetite for both prisoners and soldiers alike. Unfortunately for her, not all the prisoners want to play along and this naturally frustrates Helga on a regular basis. One of the prisoners under her watchful eye is the spunky and feisty Elisabeth Vogel (Patrizia Gori), daughter of a leftist lawyer who is seemingly the government’s biggest enemy and prime target. When Helga discovers this, she naturally intends to use young Elisabeth as bait, but eventually starts to fall for her.

★☆☆☆☆ You know those films which are so bad they're good? Well, unfortunately The Devil's Kiss (1975) isn't one. This (apparent) 'Euro-terror' classic from director Jordi Gigó - who gave us Porno Girls (1977) - is just plain bad. Featuring Silvia Solar, Olivier Mathot and Jose Nieto - all three of whom also starred in that other sleaze fest Terreur cannibale (1981) - this is an exercise in ineptitude, pure and simple.
Claire Grandier (Solar) is a wacky medium out for revenge. She blames the aristocratic Duke De Haussement (Nieto) for the death of her husband and intends to make him pay. Charming her way into the duke's chateau she, with the help of her friend Professor Gruber (Mathot), creates a demon-possessed zombie, which she unleashes on the unsuspecting duke and his friends with hideous results.
First, let me say that the 'Eurocine Horror trailer reel' which forms part of the extras with the...
