She Demons

Summary: " I didn't know I had it in me!" - Irish McCalla
Review: This vintage example of schlock cinema is from the same clowns who gave us "Frankenstein's Daughter." Take note, the flick has one redeeming quality: Irish McCalla. Baby boomers will remember this statuesque blond as Saturday TV's "Sheena, Queen of the Jungle." (Take a moment, guys, and recall pre-adolescent fantasies). She plays a spoiled rich girl, shipwrecked with three men on a remote island. No, it isn't that kind of story. They discover Nazis who use scantily clad "island" girls as human guinea pigs. If one blends Nazis dressed in black Gestapo uniforms, island babes, and bondage and torture scenes, the whole thing begins to resemble a '50s men's magazine. The head Nazi and resident mad scientist, known as The Butcher, subjects the island girls to genetic transfers that temporarily transform them into monster women. These "she demons" commit murder and mayhem. Things get explosive when The Butcher lusts after Irish. Just then, the volcano starts to rock-'n'roll and you know the rest. Victor Sen Yung (Charlie Chan's No. 2 son) is around for comic relief. Comic relief is really a moot point. The "so dumb, it's funny" fan club will already be rolling on the floor. The chief Nazi guard is familiar B movie character actor Gene Roth. If that name doesn't ring any bells, he played the sheriff in "Earth Vs. the Spider" and "Attack of the Giant Leeches." Roth also appeared as the heavy in some of the later Three Stooges comedies. The Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, version of this little flick adds the scream queen's cogent commentary and plunging analysis in a rounded and thrusting manner. ;-)
