She Demons
There's a shipwreck and a group of
terrible people wash up on a tropical island. Terrible, not because
they're evil, but terrible because they're annoying as hell. To prove
my point, here's the manifest: There's Boney Blonde who is a complete
spoiled bitch, Professor Dullard, the pompous tool with rod up his
ass, Token Superstitious, old man whose ethnicity I can't determine,
and Short Round. They're all a bunch of twat-waffles that should have
went down with the ship. But if they had, we wouldn't have this
cinematic 'treat'.

After landing on the island and getting
their bearings, Token Superstitious is the first to get it with
spears to the chest. After the others snoop around the island they
find a group of native white girls doing a dance routine reminiscent
of drunken epileptics in mid grand mal. Pretty soon, some townie in a
Nazi uniform breaks up the dance number and ushers them back into
their cage. After some more dicking around, we find out there's a
Nazi doctor doing experiments on the dance troupe in order to produce
some elixer that will make his wife a hottie again. Currently, she's
a nottie that got the hell beat out of her with an ugly stick. Things
happen, people escape and then recaptured, and then the movie drops
like a thud with one of the biggest cop-outs I've ever seen: The
island is being used to do bombing target practice for the US Air
Force, thus allowing them to FULLY escape.
This HAS to be the source material for
all those cheese-ball send-ups of '50s horror films with evil Nazi
doctors and such. Just in the way that Madmen of Mandoras brought us
the concept of saving Hitlers head/brain in a jar, this movie gives
us hokey main characters fighting Nazi soldiers in full dress uniform
with helmets 2 sizes too big. Overall, I liked this one as it
satisfies my need for classic b&w sci-fi/horror films. I
recommend watching this film after a night out on the town.
sunday, SUNday SUNDAY!!! --- Personally, I find all politicians to be jackals, rats, and weasels. Not so much werewolves, however....
I've only scene one "good" evil-Nazis-on-a-remote-island horror flick. Can't remember the name but it was about zombie's and it scared the hell out of me as a kid. The image of them rising up out of the water gave me random nightmares for decades.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes! I remember that movie! It was called Shockwaves! I haven't seen that in years! Hmm...I'm thinking next year.
