5 stars for the boots alone

You know what I'm talking about.

I hate dubs. All these old exploitation movies have bad ones. (The MVD Blu-ray gives you no choice in the matter). Actually I'd say they range from terrible to embarrassing, and Nathalie: Escape From Hell falls under the latter. To make matters worse, a number of nationalities are represented in this movie, and dubbing provides primarily American accents, and a few British ones. The star male Nazi is British, for some reason. Anyway, it only causes confusion when you're trying to identify where someone is from, and where they fit in the story. Fortunately (yeah, right) characters tend to verbalize who they are, and what country they hail from. Assuming this dialogue was added to the movie's native language, which makes this story even CLUNKIER than it already is.

This sure was tame for a Nazisploitation flick. All the battles and deaths utilize the kids-playing-cops-and-robbers technique. So, no blood, a lot of 'uh, ya got me!,' and quite a few downright hilarious deaths.

I found one reason to watch this movie. It's Jacqueline Laurent, twirling her moustache and camping it up, as sadistic SS officer Helga Hortz. And her skimpy leather dominatrix outfit she parades around in really seals the deal.
