I thought she could have been a good universal movie.
There's no monsters. There's no humor. And where would Bela or Boris or Lon fit in? It's not Universal 'stuff'.
The reason DRACULA'S DAUGHTER sank is because it didn't have Lugosi (which pre-production ads and photos show), and they didn't have a star. SHE (1939), by KING KONG's creators, sunk as well. SHE (1925) was the best that I saw, but I still fell asleep.
Hammer's SHE was just a showcase for Hammer starlets.
And I never really got into Haggard. Tarzan nonsense.
The main character in She was a monster, RC. Look at the scene where she had all those slaves thrown into a volcano. The way she had her romantic rovel loaded into lava. She was a monster, just one with a nice face.
Sigh. It wasn't what Universal did. Merian Cooper did these kinda exotic adventure films. It wasn't a gothic horror film. It was a film trying to capitalize on KONG.
Oh yeah- SHE by Hammer was s**t.
As far as the INVISIBLE RAY-ah medicore pulp sci-fi junk. It was redone with MAN MADE MONSTER (by Universal) . Also pretty f**king dull.
BLACK FRIDAY (1940) also had Karloff and Lugosi in a sci fi film. The worst they ever starred in together. Garbage.
