MartinHafer I noticed before watching "She Demons" that the film has an overall score of 4.3 on IMDb. While this is pretty bad, it's really far worse. I think a fair score would be either 1 or, perhaps, 2--no higher.The film begins with a bunch of stock disaster footage. Then the 'action' (such as it is) cuts to an island where four folks recently washed ashore during this hurricane. One is a 'red shirt'--soon to die. Another is an Asian-American bit of comic relief. One is a hero with about as much charisma as a tuna sandwich. The final is a hot blonde who is inexplicably angry at everyone during the first half of the film. Soon these folks realize that they are really screwed. The island is about to be used for bombing practice by the US Air Force AND it's populated by both crazed extremely well-groomed dancing girls AND Nazis!! This is certainly one of the strangest combinations in film history!So why are the Nazis there? Well, a crazy old scientist (a Dr. Mengele- type) has been doing experiments on geo-thermal energy as well as work on making his hideously disfigured wife look normal again. These latter experiments involve the dancing girls who were kidnapped and are injected with a serum that makes them look like someone poured peanut butter all over their faces and gave them really crappy dental work. While there are only about a half dozen Nazis, the newcomers (who now number only three) have the advantage because they have the hero (who, frankly, isn't all that heroic or macho) and the angry PMS-driven blonde lady! Why no one even once mentions to the Nazis that the war has been over for many years is odd, by the way!During the course of this incredibly silly film, you don't need to look all that carefully to notice that the stunt doubles sometimes have different color hair than the folks they are doubling for in the movie! Additionally, at one point one of the old Nazis is tossed into a wall and the wall shakes back and forth because it's obviously not a real wall!! Add to this ridiculous dialog and a dumb plot and you pretty much have "She Demons".
oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- 1958, Ex-Natzi war criminal lives on an remote Polynesian island with his Natzi henchmen when a marooned passenger filled boat runs aground on the island with bad results. He takes the beauty from young native girls to restore the beauty of his fire scarred wife. *Special stars- Victor Sen Yung is recognizable in the cast from "Charlie Chan' series. *Theme- German engineering can fix almost anything. *Based on- Dr Jeckel and Mr Hyde, Island of Dr. Mareau*Trivia/location/goofs- The German accents come and go during scenes. The Asian cast member seems to be doing his Charlie Chan "favorite #1 son" character in all his scenes. *Emotion- This is a film I have reviewed that is NOT as good as "Planet 9", the ridiculous film flop from Ed Wood. I love some bad films. Possibly, some producer was trying for a successful film, but what he got was a film that could have all of it's copies destroyed and the world sadly would not care much.
sol ****SPOILERS**** Extremely corny but entertaining movie about a group of Nazi storm troopers occupying a Caribbean island in 1958 with a bunch of She Demons running around, if their not behind bamboo bars, doing their worst. The Nazis leader Dr. Karl Olser, Rudolph Anders, has been experimenting with the women on the island in order to get their skin somehow grafted on his wife Mona, Leni Tana, who was terribly burned some time ago in an accident in Dr.Olser's lab. The doctor is also working on a way to create a perpetual energy machine for the Fatherland by harnessing the heat of the lava from a volcano on the island. Unknown to him is that his beloved Fatherland an Fuehrer have been kaput since 1945. There's also a plan for the USAF to bomb the island back into the Atlantic Ocean by using it as target practice.A South Atlantic hurricane sweeps up a group of unsuspecting Americans on the island consisting of Irish McCalla, Jerrie Turner, Tod Griffin, Fred Malkin, Sen Young, Sammy Ching, and Chris Kamana, Charles Opunui, and that begin to interfere with Dr. Olser's plans. As Jerrie Fred and Sammy check out the inner island Chris who stayed behind on the beach is attacked and killed by a gang of She Demons. This makes the trio go inland to avoid the deadly She Creatures only to find the Nazi base-camp where Jerrie, who was checking out Dr. Olser's lab, is captured by Igor Gene Roth, Dr. Olser's right-hand man. When Igor get a little too friendly with Jerrie Fred springs to her rescue and in the fighting knocks Igor into a cage of She Demons who gorge poor Igor to death. Unbelievably bad acting especially by Irish McCalla who seems to think that she's doing a photo-shoot for Cosmopolitan Magazine and shows about as much fear of the Nazis and She Demons on the island as if she were afraid that the bad side of her face. I didn't notice anything bad on either sides of Irish's face, was being photographed. Rudolph Anders is so ridicules as Dr. Olser that he seemed drunk in almost all of his scenes, which were totally outrageous, just to get enough courage to do them. In one famous scene with Jerrie Dr.Olser tried to get her drunk with a bottle of champagne only to end up drinking the entire bottle by himself and then having Jerrie smash it over his head.Sammy, Sen Young, who was supposed to be the comic relief in the movie overdid it so much that he almost had the Nazi storm troopers cracking up and falling all over the place by his antics when they were supposed to act mean and evil. Tod Griffin thought that he was doing Shakespeare and overacted so much in his scene in Dr. Olser's lab throwing out lines like "Please I beg of you do what you want with us but please, please leave the girl alone" Where at the same time Dr. Olser acted like Griffin was just a fly on the wall instead of being impressed by his golden oratory. Just when Dr. Olser was to stick Jerrie with the needle the USAF blasted the island to pieces. The bombing activated the volcano who's lava flow followed by earthquakes engulfed and killed Dr. Olser and his wife Mona and the whole crew on Nazis and She Demons. Jerrie Fred and Sammy get to the beach and finding a rowboat row to safety, some 300 miles away to the US mainland, with a story that nobody would believe not even themselves.
KDWms The top grade on my nostalgia meter doesn't help this film's overall rating very much. Until recently, I had not seen She Demons since it was televised often when I was a kid in the early sixties. It was much more watchable then. Although made in the late fifties, this film's villains are Nazis, feared more in the forties, complete with a gestapo-protected disturbed doctor bent on restoring his wife's face to its former beauty using a not-yet-perfected procedure which involves transferring the pretty pusses of his inventory of captive wild women (oops - that's another epic of the era). Nice thing about it, however, is that - aside from permanent memory loss - one's looks return in a few days, allowing for repetitive service. The scientist inhabits a volcanic island used for bombing practice and terminates any accidental visitors, the latest of whom is a trio from a hurricane-capsized boat. It is typical of the decade's low-budget (black-and-white, short running time, dialogue-dependent, cheesy make-up) tactics. Don't misunderstand my use of the word "classic" here: As a noun, my definition contains nothing but good-ness. A synonymous ADJECTIVE, however, is "total", as in "This movie is a classic example of how to construct a classic, inferior product."
