However, as itвЂ™s clear the main intention was to shock then the film most definitely lives up to its reputation. To be honest, this is one of those so bad its great films that has so many errors and dodgy dubbing, itвЂ™s very hard to take seriously. Now, if you look at the quality of the film it most certainly does not warrant ВЈ500 but I can definitely see what all the fuss was about. It was actually one of the rarest of all the Video NastyвЂ™s. ItвЂ™s reputation alone makes it one of the most sought after of all the Video NastyвЂ™s, with dodgy VHS copies selling for up to ВЈ500 back in the 80вЂ™s! Thankfully you can get it on region 1 for a pretty good price, but the fact it was selling for so much at one point just goes to show how in demand this film was. The film was released uncut in June 1982 by JVI and was added to the Video Nasty list in October 1983 and has never been available in the UK since.

Of the 39 films actually banned from the Video NastyвЂ™s List, The Beast in Heat was one of them. All were depraved in their own wonderful way, but it was The Beast in Heat which made The List and managed to get itself banned outright in the UK. There were a number of films released in the 70вЂ™s based on Naziploitation including the Ilsa series, The GestapoвЂ™s Last Orgy and Red Nights of the Gestapo.

Clearly from the titles this filmвЂ™s whole intention was to shock, and shock it did. The Beast in Heat is one of the most famous of the Video NastyвЂ™s, and goes by many other names, most famously SS Hell Camp but also under the titles SS Hell Camp 2 and Horrifying Experiments of the SS Last Days.
