Ep.17:She Beast

What this episode covers

Warning: This weeks film contains a scene of attempted sexual assault. I briefly discuss the scene in this episode, so if you find these things upsetting or triggering, then feel free to skip this week. We'll be talking about Lost Skeleton of Cadavra next week. She Beast (1966) is this weeks film. The story of a woman possessed by a 200 year old witch. Her husband and a witch hunter must stop the witche's rampage through the Transylvanian countryside without the authorities finding out, and without hurting the witch, since that would kill the possessed woman. They must exorcise the witch before the anniversary of her death passes, or risk losing the innocent woman forever. One of only three films by Michael Reeve, we break down what works in this horror-comedy, and what hasn't held up over the years. The core story is very interesting, but do they manage to pull it off? All this and more will be revealed in this week's Celluloid Fever Dreams!
