"Frauen im Liebeslager" or "Love Camp" is another film that director Jesús Franco made together with writer Erwin C. Dietrich and it is one of Franco's many Swiss production, which is why the original language in here is German. This one here was made in 1977, so next year it will have its 40th anniversary. The title is extremely misleading. Yes there are consensual sex scenes in this film, but this so-called "love camp" is really all about violence, about rape, about torture, about murder (decapitations) and about lots of gruesome stuff. You must really love Franco to find pleasure in this one. I personally felt it added almost nothing in terms of plot or story, was really bad in terms pf the script. The acting was equally forgettable. Admittedly, some of the girls were somewhat attractive, even in the absence of the gorgeous Lina Romay, but this can probably be said about every Franco film I guess. So this is not a reason to see this one. The only positive aspect I can think of here is that it was over so quickly, before the 80-minute mark. I am all for violence and graphic sexuality if it makes sense in terms of the story. Here it's just to shock the hell out of people and very uncreative. I highly recommend to stay away from this one.
