Bofsensai So here am again trawling through known worst in some hope of locating a redeeming factor (as someone here earlier assessed it, in a sort of 'masochistic movie musings mode'), and you should know - especially if paid attention to other reviews here - that being a T. Mikels' film, the answer is that still, it's a resounding NO: not least because most of it is shot in the dark (even one bright sunlit exposition scene still has one of the dialogue interlopers filmed in darkened face shadow, still!)In fact the most useful advice I could pass on was that perhaps it would be a good one to put on for the background to a (Halloween?) party or the likes (thanks 'Al Omega' of online Creature Features) coz in its way, this could be of aural interest, first for all the really hokey dialogue (Main witch star, Mana (Lila Zaborin) mostly not really acting, only emoting - once in almost an (ex UK PM) Margaret Thatcher style barking out "I'm not here to frighten you; I'm here to help you!"), but also because the soundtrack has some great trippy sounds on it seeming more appropriate to a sci-fi offering (kudos to Carl Zittrer and/or James Christopher in the music / sounds departments): and yes, as warned, no orgy folks, but towards the end some pretty dancing (well hop and jumping) girls bop about to a pretty cool drumming beat. Oh, and also that if right on full throated feminine screaming somehow does it for you, then these otherwise amateur delivery actresses really put their heart and, well, lungs, into their cue, 'scream' scenes, indeed!So there you go; plenty to keep ya ears attuned to, but otherwise, visually, on the whole - i.e. throughout - absolutely nothing (although I do wonder if the Monty Python team, circa Life of Brian, had seen and been inspired by the flashback stoning scene): as one other reviewer also suggested rank as below = sub zero: so, actually, standard fare for Ted as usual, really. What would you otherwise ever expect?
gavin6942 Lorraine and Mark enter the world of witchcraft where Mara foretells the future and helps them remember their past lives. When a series of mysterious murders begin to occur, they turn to Dr. Helsford fort advice.Written, directed and produced by Ted V. Mikels, who is one of the more bizarre of the independent, cult directors. This is a guy who was known for his home life, as he once lived with groups of women in a Glendale, California castle. And judging from this film, some of those ladies may have made an appearance.This movie is a bit odd, and definitely low budget, but not necessarily bad. People give it a bad rap, a hard time, and say it is awful. No. Any film that entertains is not awful ,and this entertains.
trashgang A lot has been said about this film. But the title isn't what is in this movie. Blood, can't find any except some drops coming from someones mouth. But no more gore or blood in the rest of this flick. Orgy, well I think you have to be naked and there have to be more then one girl and boy. Okay, so no nudity in this flick, not even a love or romantic part in this flick. No sex at all, why the word orgy?She Devil, no devil is involved, just some spiritism. And I mean, a lot, of they go with blah blah blah and again blah blah blah. a hell of a ride to sit this one out. O yeah, did I ever mentioned that this one is a stupid one?
Witchfinder General 666 "Blood Orgy Of The She Devils" - an awesome title, that raises hopes for an ultra-sleazy and gory 70s Explotitation effort full of gratuitous female nudity, chopped off limbs etc. Unfortunately Ted V. Mikels' film, which is nonetheless slightly entertaining for its trashiness, is a very tame, and often boring yawner, that does not nearly come up to what the title promises. As it often was the case with films with an extremely low budget, this was given a title that has little to nothing to do with the actual film in order to lure viewers into theaters. The film itself is an absolutely ridiculous mess, but even though often too boring, it has its amusing moments. The film has a ridiculous and confused plot dealing with witchcraft, which revolves around an occult voodoo circle lead by a witch named Mara. Mara has supernatural powers which she can use to communicate with the dead as well as for other black magic purposes. When she includes a pretty young woman in her unholy circle, the girl's boyfriend and best friend consider a doctor who is an expert for the occult. The doctor, basically the hero of the film, is constantly talking in 'sophisticated' nonsensical phrases about witchcraft. The performances are terrible, but terrible performances are something I can forgive in low-budget cinema. What I missed were the exploitative factors, namely the expected gore and sleaze. The popularity of Michael Reeves' British Horror masterpiece "Witchfinder General" starring the great Vincent Price spawned a number of violent 'Hexploitation' films about witch-hunts, most prominently the notorious (and great) "Mark Of The Devil". Director Mikels also tried to jump on the bandwagon here, and "Blood Orgy Of The She-Devils" therefore includes two flashbacks to the time of witch-hunts, which are incredibly corny, but probably even so the best scenes in the film. Mikels is probably best known for "The Corpse Grinders" of 1972, which has a certain cult status, and which I have yet to see. "Blood Orgy Of The She Devils" is certainly not the nasty Exploitation film the title suggests, but merely a quite tame, and very very silly little film that mildly amuses but bores even more. It somehow reminded me of "Snake People", an extremely odd low budget-production which happened to be one of the last films starring the great Horror icon Boris Karloff. The difference is that this one doesn't star Karloff. "Blood Orgy Of The She Devils" has its amusing moments, and fans of (awful) cult cinema can consider watching it. Others should avoid it. I personally don't regret watching it, as I was somehow entertained by it, however, I made sure to write this review the day after watching it, since I will probably have forgotten it entirely in a week.
