“Dismal cheapie from AIP that stars a rough-looking Tom Conway as a mad scientist in the jungle using voodoo to turn women into monsters. Itu0026#39;s a mostly dull affair with a few campy moments that are worth some laughs. But these are sadly few and far between. Most of the time itu0026#39;s just boring. Conway has seen better days. He looks sickly here. But he still (over)acts his pants off, which is appreciated. Marla English makes for a fun bitch; sheu0026#39;s easily the highlight of the movie. Mike Connors is the u0026quot;herou0026quot; who exists just to give the mad scientistu0026#39;s put-upon wife (Mary Ellen Kay) a stud to walk into the sunset with. The monster suit for the u0026#39;voodoo womanu0026#39; is the same as the suit from The She-Creature with some minor changes. She-Creature is a much more fun movie, though. Also the drum beat played throughout sounds a bit like the opening to Sympathy for the Devil.”
