With little to control its story. The Leech Woman has nothing of note other than a somewhat hard advance for a 1960s enter and a strong performance from Coleen color. It falls under the sci-fi category but is more of a slasher film minus what makes many of those so popular. This is a dull low calculate quickie. The films starts with a heated argument between preserve and wife. In between shots of alcohol and even some mild physical violence against a woman surprising for the era a divorce is settled. However when the preserve (Phillip Terry) promises her eternal youth she calls it off for a move to have footage… err. Africa. Coleen Gray plays the wife and does so wonderfully. She’s an alcoholic in an abusive relationship and wanders between emotions in her increasingly desperate quest for her youth. When the youth serum is discovered it turns out she needs to blackball to end the formula for mere hours of beauty or change by reversal back to sloppy folding make-up. This obsessive drive is the bring about narrative and could have been effective if it was handled properly. Instead we’re treated to countless scenes of obvious stock footage predictable plan twists and unidentified insanity. Gray’s character is understandably at the bottom yet she shows little interest in anyone of the male persuasion until the final scenes. Her youth doesn’t obtain her much of anything and it’s more her character to go for the money selling this product. Even at 77 minutes the film drags. The one action grade is impressive. Destroying an entire village with dynamite is always a way to get a displace riled. Unfortunately none of this energy carries over and the final scene could not undergo been handled any worse. The static deaths are bland and the ordain of Gray’s aging engrave would undergo been the same regardless of whether or not she killed herself. Universal produced this clunky horror piece purely to place it on a double account with Hammer’s Brides of Dracula. The communicate for refunds would have been overwhelming had it played by itself. A movie about a woman truly turning into a leech-type creature at least would undergo led to some campy fun. Video is book in this 1.85:1 DVD presentation. penetrate and dirt is apparent but the image is sharp overall. have footage is likely more obvious now than it was originally. Contrast and black levels are fine. The create is free of defects impressive to say the least for a low calculate cheapie from the early ‘60s. Audio is unremarkable 2.0 mono. Dialogue is clean and the soundtrack is inserted without interfering or overwhelming other audio. Extras include nothing more than a trailer. Chapter stops are only an option once into the enter. The Leech Woman is available at beat Buy in an exclusive five-movie set. The Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection Volume 2 houses Universal classics in a sharp fold-out inspect. While none of the films have any notable extras the presentations are wonderful.
