Voodoo Woman (1957)
"From This Point On, We'll Be In Voodoo Country!"...
30 December 2019
VOODOO WOMAN stars Marla English as the greedy, homicidal Marilyn Blanchard. Along with her snappy-dressing boyfriend, Rick (Lance Fuller), Marilyn decides to commit murder in hopes of profiting thereby. Then, with guide, Ted Bronson (Mike "Touch" Connors) in tow, they set off through the jungle in search of further riches.

Their lengthy trek takes them toward a village full of voodoo practitioners, presided over by Chaka, the witch doctor (Martin Wilkins) and Dr. Gerard (Tom Conway). There's also a monster (aka: someone in the leftover costume from THE SHE CREATURE and a blonde wig!), moaning villagers, and a lackadaisical bongo drum player.

This movie is excruciatingly boring, consisting mostly of scenes of people wandering through the jungle, or fighting among themselves. The only real "excitement" is saved for the less-than enthralling finale when the monster meanders about, looking sort of like a Morlock with a skin condition. Thankfully, it's barely ever shown!

A movie for the true voodoo completist only...
