She Killed in Ecstasy Movie Download

3 / 10

Not a lot of substance to this horror film–just a lot of skin.
While I noticed that there were quite a few very positive reviews for this one, mine will certainly not be among them. Some described this as being among director Jesús Franco’s best films, though I just don’t see it. To me, the film was poorly made, had a plot they ‘borrowed’ from “The Bride Wore Black” and was just an excuse to show a lot of flesh. The plot, for the most part, seemed relatively unimportant and several times throughout the movie I saw mistakes that should have been eliminated had anyone really cared about producing a quality film.

The film begins with some insane (or at least completely amoral) doctor doing experiments on viable embryos. While he assumes folks will hail him as a great man and humanitarian, not surprisingly he’s attacked by the medical community and his license is revoked. He becomes depressed and ultimately kills himself. His wife, a bit of a nut-job herself, blames four people for his death and goes about killing them. Inexplicably, all these murders involve her taking off her clothes and showing off her pubic regions.

My biggest problem isn’t the gratuitous nudity but the way the film was made. Too much emphasis was made on the nudity and too little on constructing a more believable story or interesting murders. There just wasn’t a lot of intelligence in constructing the plot–and little style. Plus, the killer wife drug her dead husband’s corpse around with her–but he clearly was sweating. And, in one scene, a shroud is pulled away from a dead blonde–and you can see her moving!! She is supposed to be dead and dead people aren’t supposed to move! How can this be a great film or among Franco’s best?! It was sloppy and these scenes should have been re-shot. Overall, a sloppy film and one that should have been much better.Read More
