the she beast (1966)

AKA Il lago di Satana. Revenge of the Blood Beast. Satan's Sister. She Beast. Sister of Satan.
"What a strange place, it seems to be full of weirdies and werewolves."
Veronica (Barbara Steele) and Philip (Ian Ogilvy) are honeymooning in modern day Transylvania when they have a car accident. He survives but her body is possessed by the spirit of a witch who cursed the descendent's of the villagers who killed her two Centuries before. The witch then sets about avenging herself on the villagers.
The first feature by the now fated Michael Reeves, due to his subsequent films, The Sorcerers and Witchfinder General. This has some great dialogue, that doesn't take itself too seriously. in this very very cheap film. It hints of things to come, but won't be to everyone's taste. Enjoy it for its cheesy dubbing and over the top acting, or not at all!
