The She Beast

The film constructs its narrative around a classic possession motif, using it as a springboard for dark comedy and grotesque revenge scenes. Director Michael Reeves relies on the contrast between pastoral landscapes and bursts of violence to create a peculiar genre hybrid.

Those who tire of polished horror will find charm in its cheap but effective practical effects and satirical jabs at rural superstition. What lingers after the credits is the memory of a curious genre artifact where terror flirts with absurdity. — MovieFinder Editorial
