the vengeance of she (1968)

aka She, the Avenger. Ayesha, Daughter of She. Ayesha, the Return of She.
"I can give you time. I can give you immortality."

Carol (Olinka Berova), a mysterious and beautiful woman intrigues Philip (Edward Judd), who follows her when she takes off into the desert, seemingly driven to venture further into the arid zone. Has she been taken over by the troubled spirit of Queen Ayesha and being drawn to the lost city of Kuma, the eternal flame and Killikrates (John Richardson)?

A sequel to Hammer's She, which basicially just switches the sex of the immortal. Once they arrive at the lost city things pick up and we have an entertaining adventure, but unfortunately we have to endure a slow paced thirty minutes of Carol writhing in agony with visions, before the journey starts. This only serves to bog the film down before it really gets going.
