So what exactly is The Leech Woman? A very bad horror film from Universal. Actually, it's not really a horror film, it's more of a bad excuse for a horror film. Upon discovering the secret of youth, a smarmy doctor and his drunk wife take a trip to Africa. Actually, it's the Universal backlot with some stock footage edited in to make it look like Africa, but it's done really poorly so it really stands out that they haven't set foot in Africa. They hire a British hunter who has a thing for whicker and then find the village where they see an old woman turn into Janet Jackson. Drunk wife uses her husband as a sacrifice and turns young. Then the village is blown up. Why? I couldn't tell you. So, the "leech" woman comes back to America where she mixes it up with a young lawyer when she's young, much to the chagrin of the young man's oddly coiffed fiance. Anyway, she kills, she grows young, she kills some more. All in all, the movie doesn't make a lot of sense. In the end, the leech woman looks like someone poured gravy on her and she falls out of a window. Mercifully, this is the end. Just wish it had happened about an hour earlier.
