7''The Beast in Heat'' (also known as ''SS Hell Camp'', ''SS Experiment Part 2'' and ''Horrifying Experiments of the S.S. Last Days'') is a 1977 Italian ExploitationFilm about fictionalized UsefulNotes/WorldWarII [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] POW camp atrocities, a common theme amongst the {{video nasties}}. It was directed by Luigi Batzella and written by Batzella and Lorenzo Artale. The film gained notoriety when it was placed on the list of VideoNasties and banned in the United Kingdom.

9Dr. Ellen Kratsch, a beautiful and sadistic senior SS officer and doctor, creates a half-human, half-beast, incubus-like mutant. This ugly, squat creature has a limitless sexual appetite, and so Kratsch uses it to molest and torture the female prisoners of war under the clinical eye of the Nazis, keeping it happy by feeding it aphrodisiacs.

11Hewing closely to the basic premise of ''Film/IlsaSheWolfOfTheSS'' and its sequels, this film follows the trend of {{Nazisploitation}} films that ''Ilsa'' pioneered, and Kratsch is clearly modeled after Ilsa. It is considered one of the worst (or funniest, if you have a really sick sense of humour) films ever made, using only a single set of a laboratory with a cage in the middle, cheap costumes, poor lighting and inept editing.

16* DeadlyDoctor: Dr. Ellen Kratsch, the creator of the beast.
17* GratuitousRape: This is likely the main reason the film was made in the first place.
18* HalfHumanHybrid: The beast itself, an incubus-like cross between a man and a beast.
19* HoistByHerOwnPetard: At the end of the film when the partisans attack the castle, Kratsch falls victim to the beast she used on her prisoners when she is given to it in revenge.
