Storyline

Heroic, but dull, Fred Maklin and beautiful, but spoiled, Jerrie Turner wash up on an uncharted tropical island. They are soon captured by ex-Nazi Colonel Osler, who also has imprisoned a bevy of beauty contest winners whom he allows to be whipped by his slavering Nazi storm troopers. He has, you see, been extracting some glandular substance from the girls to inject into his wife Mona, who suffered terrible facial disfigurement, in efforts to restore her beauty. Things get worse as the island is used for test bombing by the US Air Force.

Very funny horror flick!

I first saw 'She Demons' on TV as a youngster, and was frightened by it; as I grew up, I saw it a few more times as an adolescent and a teenager, and then, it sort of disappeared from TV.

I found a VHS copy in a video store 3 years ago, and had a movie night with some friends. We howled at the bad acting, the bad makeup of the 'She Demons', and especially at their weird dancing.

The climax, still effective, is the end when Mona reveals her face. A must see if you're in the mood for campy horror and a lot of laughs.
