Review
Blitzkrieg knows its job is to astound by cruelty, entice by animalistic imagery, and arouse both excitement and anger. It does these things with rigor, making it the most daring and disturbing exploitation roughies to attack the screen this century. A captivating cocktail of Nazisploitation conventions, Blitzkrieg pays homage to several of its disreputable ancestors by marrying the sexy sadism and harrowing violence of 'real' atrocities with pulpy and lewd exploitation entertainment. Graphic sex and violent torture, mental cruelty and shlock - these are the order of the day here. Director Keith Crocker lovingly milks every ounce of degradation from his repulsive scenarios, and uses a surprisingly intelligent story to explore themes of betrayal, lust, and hatred. Along the way he shows not only a penchant for celebrating the filth of this particular sub-genre but, in addition, illustrates a certain knowledge of cruel and opportunistic humanity, depicting us at our worst as women and men wallow in moral and physical cesspools. This movie is hardcore in its attitude, delighting in crossing taboos and pushing the boundaries of exploitation, attracting us with deviancy without any pretence at morality. --sexgoremutants.co.uk

Review
You can't judge any Naziploitation film by conventional standards, since it is aiming at an entirely different set of targets. Thus, it's largely immune to criticism, since standards of good and have run, screaming, for the exit. All I can say is that we were entertained and appalled equally, which is exactly what I wanted. I don't know whether Rob Zombie will ever get around to making Werewolf Women: in the meantime, Blitzkrieg will fill in more than adequately. --trashcity.org

Review
A blended genre shake with gore, gags and a musical number! History buffs might get more of a kick out of the outrageous happenings at the camp. Goretastic torture sessions will tantalize horror fans and sadists alike with all sorts of sights including an impromptu castration and bamboo-shoot finger tricks. If you love nudity, than this is the flick for you because it features plenty of naked flesh including the rare male frontal shot. Gasp! --firefox.org

Customer Reviews

Schlocky Nazpoitation at its best!
If you liked "The Toxic Avenger" and "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS", then this is up your alley all the way! A bad self indulgent script, horribly innacurate uniforms for most of the 'soldiers' (with the exception of some reenactors who helped out from the area that I know...) uber-cheesey special effects, nudity, bad taste, bad acting, and cheap production values all make this a film that Leonard Pinth Garnell (Dan Akyroyds film snob charactor on SNL) would say is 'deliciously bad and aweful, and I liked it very much'... right up there with 'Video Chicken 1' from 'bad conceptual art'.... I mean, you will love hating this movie and cringing at each horrible moment... fortunately the nude chicks are pretty hot and drooling at them should help to ease the pain of the rest.
It is violent, pretentious, and just so frigging BAD you have to sit in amazement that any group of people could put together such an unending group of bad things together and make it work... sure to become a cult classic, and I think that is what the director-producer wanted, so I give him 10 stars for assembling a truly horribly bad array of awefulness... and like Akyroyd's bad art snob, I liked it very much!
Not for the squeamish, however, it is like a bad slasher flick in a death camp... but so bad and poorly done its funny in a bad way. Way bad!
If you like bad funny or funny bad this one's for you! Also check out "The world's greatest sinner" if you like bad funny funny bad.
This one is a fake follow up to the old porn Nazploitation classic "Stalag 69" which is real porn in a camp setting, whereas this has no real porn, just a bit of fake stuff, and nudity.
This film is so funny bad, I tried to make my bad funny review as badly funny, or funny badly.Bad fun bad fun BAD!

10 years ahead of its time.
i saw blitzkrieg: escape from stalag 69 in a crowded theater. the place went nuts for it. it's an audience movie for sure. imagine if john waters and h.g. lewis collaborated on a ww2 nazi film-and they made it as epic and leisurely paced as a sergio leone spaghetti western. if you can imagine all that blended together seemlessly then you have a good idea about what to expect from blitzkrieg: escape from stalag 69.

anyone interested in independent/grindhouse/exploitation filmmaking would really enjoy this movie. i would suggest buying it and watching it with your scuzzy punk rock friends if at all possible. prepare to be freaked out, grossed out, and most of all-entertained. you don't need psychoactive substances because the movie itself will trip you out.

the only warning i will give is that this is obviously a low budget movie and some of the actors are non professionals. for some potential viewers, that's a turn off. however, if you enjoy the films of waters, lewis, findley, fulci and other trash-meisters, then those same characteristics are a turn on. with many classic genres really played out at this point (yes, i'm talking to all you unimaginative dtv zombie flicks that flood the market) it was refreshing to see a new take on nazisploitation.

i believe that blitzkrieg: escape from stalag 69 is 10 years ahead of its time. in a decade we will either see fangoria pay tribute to it in a 5 page retrospective-or see a young music video director make a shaky cam/avid fart remake; or perhaps both. but for now, we have the original nasty little gem all to ourselves. also checck out the bloody ape, by the same director (it is possibly even more offensive, over the top, and hilarious than blitzkrieg: escape from stalag 69).

Nazis ala Mode!
Anyone who picks this up expecting true Naziploitation will be in for a huge surprise. While there is plenty of gore, nudity, and love of the genre to make any true exploitation hound happy as a clam, there is so much more.

Not only do you get a film that is beautifully made. (We're talking great cinematography, editing, ambiance, etc.) But you also get the rarest treat of them all; intelligence. That's right. The true future of independent genre cinema is a nod towards the past with a brain towards the future and "Blitzkrieg" is the perfect example of this.

The cast is terrific and help make this movie one of the most memorable fringe films I've seen in a long time. While like any film worth its salt, it is not for everyone. But if you're looking for something that seamlessly blends quality, fun, smart commentary, and the fringe benefits of cult cinema, then this is the movie for you.
