Review of The Doll Squad (1973) by Ashley H — 12 Dec 2013

I was pretty unimpressed with the first Ted V. Mikels film I watched, even on a camp level, but "The Doll Squad" absolutely delivered the so-bad-it's-good camp that I was looking for! A squad of "beautiful" government agents tries to catch terrorists looking to stop a space mission.

The acting, script, and direction are all terrible. I do give big props to the corny 70s funk score that ran throughout the film and added a lot of fun to the silliness. This film is really a zero to one star film, but I did get three stars worth of entertainment out of it.

And I didn't even realize Tura Satana of "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" fame was one of the squad members until the end credits. I think seeing her in pantsuits fooled me. I had to go back and rematch some of her scenes after I saw her name in the credits, but she wasn't nearly as interesting as she was in Russ Meyer's film.

Still, I'd highly recommended this film for lovers of bad cinema.
