Dreadful As Ever!


I'm so bored and desperate for entertainment that I've popped in SHE DEMONS for the first time in several years - it remains as dreadful as ever!

As with any other film, you notice something with each viewing that escaped your notice previously: this time it was the action-packed fight in the laboratory between the hero, Fred Maklin (Tod Griffin) and Igor (Gene Roth), one of the demented Nazis - it's painfully obvious that ill-chosen stunt doubles were used for both actors in this scene, which eventually breaks out of the laboratory to the area outside where the 'she demons' are caged - the fight climaxes with the girls having their wild way with Igor! Anyway, in the long-shots, you can see that Griffin's stunt-double has gray curly hair, most unlike Griffin's, which is dark and slicked down.

If they were giving "Raspberry Awards" back then, leading lady Irish McCalla would have taken home the "Worst Actress" award hands-down. And it's hard to believe that only 18 years before this epic, Victor Sen Yung, who plays the amusing Sammy Ching, was the ominous and mysterious Ong Chi Seng in THE LETTER!

"Somewhere along the line the world has lost all of its standards and all of its taste."

It sounds fun!

It IS fun. "She Demons" is the kind of movie where, if you put your higher brain centers on hold, you can just sit back and enjoy it for the goofy nonsense that it is. I mean, what's not to like? It's got statuesque Irish McCalla as a spoiled rich bitch, whip-cracking Nazis, monster-faced jungle girls, incomprehensible mock-scientific gobbledygook, and . . . CHOREOGRAPHY! Of course, we're not exactly talking Agnes de Mille here.

Even BETTER!

It is good cheesy fun. See it here, as shown by Dumpsterpiece Theatre.

movie starts off hilarious with just a view of a deserted heavy winded street, and a broadcasting voice going "our camera man among the wounded", when the man is in the place with the blonde, notice he got really drunk record fast, alot of strange scenes looking like a special interest flick, i was worried someone would walk in as i was watching it, and then at the end elvira's watching the movie with fake glasses and a moustache!. otherwise a bit of the same mood as in "i eat your skin", but not as... uh..... "good".



smart eyes,
shake your body all round,
got me on a hook,
with your looks,
from a view to a thrill,
with smart eyes and tight outfits,
as i'm eye poppin and jaw droppin,
since you came to dance and tease,
smart eyes got me.

As far as the Raspberry Awards go, those are usually reserved for high-profile flops or hated celebrities, not schlocky b-movies or no names like in She-Demons. For me, this fits inot the "so bad it's good" category. Even the synopsis I read called in "enjoyable schlock." It's a shame the people at Mystery Science Theater 3000 never got a hold of this one.
