Watch Blood Orgy of the She-Devils For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This is not a scary or polished horror film, but a very personal and knowledgeable morality play about the supernatural evils of our world. Ted V Mikels has made so many fluffy and shallow movies that works like this get overlooked. He has some genuine experience with the occult and its dangers and his best stories reflect this. The characters and action in "Blood Orgy" are his most realistic and disturbing. Mikels pays more attention to his art direction and soundtrack here to produce an appropriately dark and creepy atmosphere and mood. This isn't as commercial and fun as HG Lewis or other schlock from the period, but its more sincere and effective. This film shows Mikels was probably the least cynical of that genre of filmmakers even if he wasn't the most polished.

I sought out this film because I recently have been trying to get hold of the films of the worst film directors in history. Ted V. Mikels and his films rank up there with the worst directors of the 60s and 70s. Hershell Gordon Lewis, Al Adamson and Larry Buchanan all are in the same pantheon of badness as Mikels, as all these men have a long string up ultra low-budget and dreadful films--and most not only directed their films, but wrote and produced them as well. Which of these is the worst? Well, it's hard to say but with Mikels films such as THE CORPSE GRINDERS and THE ASTRO-ZOMBIES, it's obvious he's well in the running!Well, I was not disappointed. When the film began, a priestess was doing some sort of past life regression mumbo-jumbo. While a dumb idea to begin with, her horrible acting really made every scene she was in worth while. While this lady was a formidable witch, she certainly was NOT a formidable actress! Despite her inability to speak in any sort of a normal fashion (mostly, she screams or reads her lines very, very slowly), I must admit that some of her black magic was pretty cool--especially the fire ants and the voodoo doll bit...nice.The next portion of the film is pretty goofy. It consists of lots of vignettes involving people being tortured and killed for supposed witchcraft. This came by the witch doing a past life regression with one of her young followers--who was killed repeatedly in past lives. My favorite of this involved some bishop or other top church official exhorting his followers (some of which were in period costumes, some of which were in clothes circa 1972) to "stone her". He looked like some jerk off the street and the scene was done in a silly manner--as the folks dropped lots of fake rocks on a woman. There's more to the film than this, including some more past life regressions, some more cult mumbo-jumbo and overacting. However, the worst of it is the ending, which you just have to see to believe.Overall, a truly stupid and amazingly overacted film. Listening to the witch/priestess shriek and watching the dreadful "sexy dancing"(?) of the cult members is something you won't soon forget...no matter how hard you try!! Dumb from start to finish. Amazingly, this is definitely NOT Mikels' worst film! However, it sure tried! "Pscyhometrizing"?!?!

"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.

I think I may be turning into a cinematic masochist. After suffering through two of Ted V. Mikels' abominations--"The Astro-Zombies" (1967), one of the world's worst, and "The Corpse Grinders" (1972), which is marginally better but still decidedly crummy--I had to rent out the Mikels-produced 1977 effort "The Worm Eaters," another incredible stinker. You'd think I'd have learned my lesson, but no, I then had to go out and rent Mikels' 1973 witchcraft epic "Blood Orgy of the She-Devils," and I guess I got what I deserved. In this one, a coven of hotty SoCal witches is led by a high priestess named Mara (Lila Zaborin). What little plot there is to speak of deals with the coven sacrificing the occasional male chump to Satan, some foreign agents who ask Mara to kill a U.N. ambassador with her voodoo powers, a (surprisingly well-done) seance ceremony, and a college professor who battles the high priestess. As usual in a Mikels film, the acting, scripting, lighting, editing, directing and FX are all rock-bottom deplorable, but at least--unlike, say, "The Astro-Zombies"--the story is comprehensible here, outlandish as it may be, and Zaborin intones her lines with great intensity. Some gratuitous scenes of witch torture from what I gather is supposed to be the 1600s only make the picture weirder than it would have been otherwise. Anyway, perhaps Michael Weldon, in my beloved "Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film," puts it best concerning this movie: "From the man responsible for 'Astro-Zombies,' so don't expect quality of any kind." I guess I'm a hopeless case, though, because now I'm searching out Ted V. Mikels' other 1973 masterpiece, "The Doll Squad"...
