When a child is brutally attacked, the villagers capture the fiend and sentence her to death by dunking chair, but not before she casts a curse on them and their descendants. Two hundred years later, young newlyweds Veronica (Barbara Steele, Black Sunday) and Philip (Ian Ogilvy, And Now the Screaming Starts) pass through the town on a tour of the Carpathians, only to have their car pulled into a lake by an unseen force. A passing truck driver quickly rescues two bodies from the wreck. One is Philip, battered but alive, and the other is... The witch, back from the dead to wreak havoc on the town once again! Can Philip and his newfound friend, the great grandson of Professor Van Helsing, capture the witch and bring back Veronica? ## Images ![The She-Beast - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91FrGqunRJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad *by J***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 29, 2023* Barbara Steele had that undefined quality so valued in the movie world- "screen presence". She is always watchable and has it in "The She-Beast". The movie is pretty average but is directed with vigor. Watch it for the great Barbara. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Underappreciated Low Budget Gem. *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2009* As an aficionado of silent films, it's amazing the impact that a restored print can have on the viewing experience. The same is true of regular movies as well, including a low budget drive-in special like this one. Throw in the fact that this was the debut feature of the tragically short lived British filmmaker Michael Reeves (who would go on to make the legendary WITCHFINDER GENERAL with Vincent Price and like Heath Ledger would die of an accidental prescription drug overdose in his 20s) and you have something really special.Shot in Italy on a budget of around $40,000 and released in 1966, THE SHE BEAST (REVENGE OF THE BLOOD BEAST in England) clearly prefigures WITCHFINDER GENERAL in some of its scenes and even in some of its camera shots. Compared to the old beat up 16mm prints that were available up to now, this 35mm transfer is a revelation and shows that Reeves had an extraordinary cinematic eye for composing the look of his films. Very few directors could have gotten so much out of so little as he does here.Barbara Steele was available for one day and is little more than a guest star but she helped to sell the picture. Ian Ogilvy in his first film is all he needs to be while John Karlsen and Mel Welles add necessary spice to the proceedings. Watching this reminded me again of what was lost when the drive-ins disappeared. Today there is no low budget training ground for young directors where their works can be seen by a large number of people. A movie like this would now go straight to DVD and into rental and bargain bin oblivion.This Dark Sky DVD release is everything a cult film lover could wish for. Not only is the print quality absolutely gorgeous but the guest commentary by Ogilvy, Steele and producer Paul Maslansky is both informative and quite amusing. It helps to explain why the film wildly veers between being an outright horror film, a political satire, and a Keystone style slapstick comedy. Taken as a whole it isn't very good but it does have its moments and is very enjoyable. THE SHE BEAST deserves to be seen by anyone interested in low-budget filmmaking and as a look at the beginning of a short but remarkable career. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Confusing mish mash of genres. *by J***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 18, 2018* Not really sure if this movie was a comedy or horror film. The horror bits weren't all that horrible, the monster was just a killing machine with bad acne. It had a Van Helsing type of guy that was ok. I don't know how intentional it was but there were a multitude of silly moments all through the film such as the dimwit hotel owner, "Peoples Republic" and "Comrade" type of jokes, and the ludicrous car chase at the end.I've been on a Barbara Steele movie binge lately, and that's why I bought this film. She's only in it for the beginning and a few minutes at the end, but looks utterly gorgeous. Very few women in the world have eyes as captivatingly lovely as hers. She is the only reason I'm giving it three stars. Even though all the dialog in this movie is dubbed I think this is the first time I've heard her real voice, which is as luscious as her physical beauty. In he her Italian movies they never use her real voice.Unless you're a Barbara Steele fan I'm not sure I would recommend this movie. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/9355592-the-she-beast](https://www.desertcart.at/products/9355592-the-she-beast) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
