Review of The Vengeance of She (1968) by Sgt. C — 13 Oct 2012
It's odd that this has no critic or audience reviews whatsoever. Even on imdb it has little more than 300 votes. So, I, a relative Hammer novice will get things underway.
In truth there really isn't a great deal to say, I certainly cant hurl superlatives at this film. The Vengeance of She is a sequel to the relatively popular She, also of Hammer studios. This film concerns the reincarnation of Ayesha, this time played by Olinka Berova, evidently this production was beneath Ursula Andress, who starred in the original film but decided not to return. Carol, or Ayesha depending on the perspective, is lured back to the kingdom by Killikrates to take her rightful place and become immortal by his side.
The Vengeance of She is among the more daft films that Hammer produced and in truth it's easy to see why this has become as obscure as it is. I wasn't a huge fan of the original, which despite an interesting start, soon fell away. The sequel begins silly and only ever goes in one direction.
