**Possible Spoilers Ahead**
Four people marooned on an island discover a Nazi doctor who specializes in turning winsome women into the ugly monsters of the title. The hideous "demons" retain their beautiful bodies even after the evil experiments make their faces look like shredded papier-mache. The film starts off slow, action-wise, but entertainment is provided by mild ethnic humor and constant bickering between doofus hero Todd Griffin and blonde, tall, leggy Irish McCalla. The good guys eventually duke it out with the Naziswho have some of the worst German accents everand nearly knock down the sets in the process. The action is fairly bloody for the late 1950s though one flogging sequence may have been cut down before SHE DEMONS was released. The director is often tarred with the same brush as Ed Wood Jr., whose Midas touch in reverse automatically turned celluloid into crap. However, to make a film as goofy, schlocky and oddly endearing as SHE DEMONS, Cunha obviously lacked Wood's pathetic self-seriousness and everyone concerned seemed to have fun making it. Fans of LeBad Cinema have been having fun with it ever since.
