DVD Description
A hypnosis based horror film tells the story of an oily hypnotist Dr Carlo Lombardi and his beautiful former carnival worker assistant Andrea. Dr Lombardi’s best-selling act consists of him predicting death and regressing Andrea back to previous lives, from a seventeenth century English woman all the way back to her pre-historic days when she was a sea-creature! When he summons the monster she comes forth from the sea and embarks on a terrifying killing spree. The locals of the beachfront community of southern California start to grow suspicious of why and how the hypnotist’s predictions of death are coming true. Samuel Z. Arkoff started producing movies with his partner James Nicholson in 1954 when they set up American International Pictures and capitalised on the trend of teenagers being the main cinema audience of the time. The She-Creature is a classic fifties horror story of a slow scary monster controlled by an evil hypnotist to commit murder! His hold over her begins to fade as her love grows for the hypnotist’s archenemy Dr Ted Erikson who is investigating the murders! Will Andrea break free from the hypnotist’s evil grip before he gets her to kill her true love Dr Erikson? How does she manage to kill so many people when she moves so slowly? Just how scary can a busty monster in a chintzy rubber suit be? Find out in The She-Creature! The She-Creature is directed by Edward L Cahn, who started his movie career in the 1920’s as a movie editor and went on to direct over 120 films. The monster costume was created by master make-up artist Paul Blaisdell and is considered as one of his best.
