WOW! Colossal piece of sh*t!!!

Okay, I was just 5 when this was released (and I hope Mom & Dad didn't view this cinematic dreck at a Drive-In), but, at age 47, I've got to say that this "film" is the cheesiest, most poorly executed, abominable piece of garbage that I have EVER witnessed!!! Dave Friedman was associated with Mr. Lewis for a time (and David was a subscriber to my Drive-In Theatre Preservation newsletter "Drive-In Speaker" at one time, so, now that I'm happily retired at age 47, I figured I'd purchase some HGL DVD's from ebay (a collection of 7, or so) and see what's what) .... UGGGGGHHHHHHHH, bad, bad, bad move ....... She Devils is so entirely horrid ... poor acting, poor cam work, poor editing (and the spinning cycle collage -- WTF???????) ------- I'm sorry, I just cannot believe that I wasted over an hour of my life witnessing this piece of utter garbage!!! Granted, I star in a "slightly similar" abomination titled "Slaughter Weekend," (2010) but at least its watchable ........ Gee, I hope some of the other titles in the set (of HGL vids) I purchased are at least marginally palatable!!! Looking into my mirror ball, I can see myself re-listing this collection on ebay for some other unsuspecting sucker to purchase!!! Sorry, but I tell it like it is, baby!!! DaveLounder.com
