Trivia

Although planned as a sequel to Hammer's She (1965), a last-minute rewrite of the script removed all connections to the earlier movie. This now plays more as a remake of "She" with an immortal man in place of an immortal woman.

Quotes

Carol: I don't now who I am. I wish I could explain to you, but, I am so confused. Sometimes I feel I have been traveling all my life. And sometimes, for a moment, I seem to know who I am. Then, just as I begin to recognize people and things, the memory goes. And my mind is in torment again.

User Reviews

Sizzling

I cannot give it a higher rating because the maiden never engages in the good old in and out, but the violence, the action, the new setting and the women make me love this film.
