She Gods of Shark Reef

Actors: Bill Cord, Don Durant, Lisa Montell, Jeanne Gerson, Carol Lindsay
Rating: 2 out of 10, The next in my exploration of Bad Cinema. I didn’t realize until this was over that B-Master guru Roger Corman directed. I’m still trying to figure out why thus was included in a sci fi movie collection. Two well-built young men are marooned on a late 1950’s Polynesian island inhabited by only women pearl divers and hungry sharks. You would think – SCORE (well except for the sharks), but they spend the mercifully short movie prancing around in Hawaiian loin clothes trying to escape. There is no understanding the 1950s. Truly bad and very un-Corman like in that there’s more beefcake for the ladies than vice versa.

MVP: Lisa Montell as Mahia, a Polish actress as the Polynesian love interest
