So much average
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Like the proverbial cat with nine lives "Ilsa" (Dyanne Thorne) is back and she has returned to the vocation for which she is best qualified--as the warden of a Soviet prison in Siberia known as "Gulag 14". Further, considering that the year is 1953 and Joseph Stalin is the leader of the Soviet Union, Ilsa pretty much has a free hand to do whatever she wants to the prisoners. That said, true to her nature, that means this movie will consist of plenty of torture and brutality along with a few sex scenes involving the beautiful Dyanne Thorne. Unfortunately, unlike the previous two films in the series ("Ilsa, She-Wolf of this SS" and "Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks") none of these scenes were as polished as in the two preceding movies and as a result this particular motion picture failed to achieve the same standards. In my opinion, it was unnecessarily raw and sleazy and lacking in both eroticism and depth. I have rated the movie accordingly. Followed by the 4th (and last) film in the series, "Ilsa, The Wicked Warden".
Another Ilsa film, if you've made it this far in the series then its probably safe to say you are a fan and Ilsa: Tigress Of Siberia will not disappoint. The movie is similar to the other two in that Ilsa is in charge of a group of improsened people and tortures them and has lots of sex. Unexpectedly the movie makes a bit of a switch near the middle of the film and the tone is changed yet quickly gets back to regular old ilsa business. If im not mistaken this movie seemed to have the most nude scenes of Dyanne Thorne and some of the most graphic sex we've seen her in. Like her first sex scene where she takes on some double penatration from two guys at the same time, and its not the only time she does it either. Another sexy scene was the scene of her taking a shower, hot danm. The kills and torture were also pretty good, the tiger in the pit was nice and gruesome as was the penis getting bit off. I also liked the part where the guy got caught on the barbed wire fence and they torched his corpse after while it was hanging there as well as the multiple times people got impaled on wodden spikes. Also note worthy would be the badass scene of arm wrestling over chainsaws and the line the victor spouts out afterwards is priceless. I'd still say this is my third favorite ilsa film wihch isn't a bad thing because She wolf and Harem sheek were both pretty bad ass. Tigress of Siberia lives up the Ilsa name and serves up plenty of torture, sex, and gruesome death scenes as well as continueing to make Dyanne Thorne look sexy as hell in a uniform.
The Ilsa series apparently has something of a cult following, which is unsurprising as sleazy stuff like this is often well liked. I can't say I'm a part of that following and in fact have only seen one Ilsa film (Jess Franco's Ilsa, The Wicked Warden) and dint like it much. I can't profess to be a big fan of this entry either, although I do have to say that I enjoyed it more than my first taste of Ilsa. The thing I liked most about this film is the way that it doesn't follow the familiar sleaze plot line. Initially it feels like it might do as we focus on a Russian prison camp in which the prisoners are treated badly and often killed at the hands of it's warden. Things go wrong for Russia in the war and the wardens flee to Canada, where Ilsa starts up her own brothel and later comes back in contact with one of her rivals during the 1976 Olympics. The film is hardly genius, but I get fed up of seeing people brutalised in sleazy prison camps so the change of setting seen in this film is certainly very welcome. Director Jean LaFleur does not exactly go easy on the sleaze, however, and the film does feature some really gory moments - including several scenes of death and torture, most of which are quite inventive and the fact that the film features actual Siberian tigers is to its benefit also. There's nothing included in this film that hardened sleaze buffs won't have seen many times before; but this is better than a lot of similar films at least.
I don't see what the big deal is here...Almost all the other reviewers seem to hate this film, and I don't really get it. After the goofy, uninspired HAREM KEEPER, and the pretty dull sleaze-fest WICKED WARDEN, I was pleasantly surprised with TIGRESS. It's no masterpiece by any means, but this one had some inventive torture and a decent amount of tits-and-ass. This one has the mammoth-mounded Ilsa playing baby-sitter to a bunch of Russian traitors in the first half of the film, and a Canadian whorehouse madam in the second half. Yes, the story is definitely a little disjointed, almost playing like 2 different films, but I think this one had a good balance between sex and gore, and enough sleazy humor to make it an all-around worthwhile and entertaining entry. Definitely worth checking out if you like the series (or sleazy exploit cinema in general), but you may have a hard time finding it - I don't believe that there is a DVD release as of yet (at least not in the States), so start scouring those old mom-and-pop video stores. Regardless of what the other guys say, I like this one - 8/10
