Review of She Gods of Shark Reef

Deliciously campy island adventure, this colorful tale of an alleged curse on an island of women is a hoot. A wanted killer and his pal (Bill Cord and Don Durant) are shipwrecked on the isle of beauty where the suspicious den-mother like queen (Jeanne Gerson) warns them of impending revenge by the shark god if they remain. Romance erupts between one of the girls (Lisa Montell) and the pal, leading the crone to drastic measures which comes to a possible tragic end. Complete with a lush theme song sung by Sylvia Syms, the film grabs at you like shark's teeth and never lets go. The scantily clad men leave little to the imagination, their loin cloths barely covering the flesh underneath. Impressive underwater photography also aids in making this rise above its low-budget status.
