Awesome Movie

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

After stumbling upon a house in the jungle, a team of explorers finds the seemingly-innocent wife of their host has connections to a local voodoo cult and tries to get away before they become part of the tribe's ceremonies.This was a decent and enjoyable enough effort that does have some worthwhile elements about it. One of the biggest factors here is in how this goes about handling the voodoo tribe and it's impact on the story, keeping things a lot more grounded than a lot of other efforts to portray the subject. This is a much more logical take here on the religion without resorting to sensationalism or obscure tactics that have no basis on reality, as the use of the puppets and the several dance rituals manage to highlight quite well along with the numerous assassination attempts and the use of the zombiefied co-worker that are all far more representative of the type of real-world basis for the religion. Likewise, the final half for this one manages to get some rather fun times here with the slowly-dawning of the voodoo plot, the continuation of the attacks on the husband and finally all the activity in the campground give this a frantic and enjoyable final half but that's about it. There's a couple big flaws here, the most damaging matter is the fact that there's so many flip-flopping allegiances and twists that the story is hard to keep straight, as there's numerous attempts on the doctor yet he's completely aware of the culprit and continually obliges their requests for company despite fully aware of the danger. It makes no sense, as does the impact of the films rather bland pace which continually features those elements numerous times over without getting anything interesting going on the in first half which makes this one quite hard to get into. The last flaw here is the low- budget which really holds it down at times. From the obvious jungle sound-stages where the entire film takes place to the rather limited amount used to depict the ceremonial altar and other aspects of the film, it all looks quite cheap and somewhat limited despite obviously going for the big mark here. Otherwise, there's not much else to this one.Today's Rating-Unrated/PG: Mild Violence.

Three men making a movie in the jungle rush to the nearest village after one of them is attacked by a lion. The local doctor does what he can for the injured man, but his beautiful and nefarious wife(played by Allison Hayes) has designs on the men, since she is also the local voodoo high priestess, who uses her powers to torment her husband(whom she hates) and seduce the men. They find it difficult to resist, though feel guilty and refuse to murder him, leading to a revenge showdown. Though a paltry production, with a paper-thin story and poor writing, it is the sultry Allison Hayes who gives the film the camp value it does possess, though that's all.

Duller-than-a-butter-knife story of a frustrated but attractive woman (Allison Hayes) who's living in the jungle with her older doctor husband, whom she despises for reasons we're not told. She's got a knack for conjuring up voodoo spells and periodically uses them to try and kill her spouse. Then a trio of men arrive seeking treatment after one of them gets hurt, and the jungle queen becomes interested in one of them. Nothing really happens in this hour or so of tedium, and it's only worth a look to see a couple of scenes with the well-proportioned Ms. Hayes doing a ritual dance wearing very little clothing. * out of ****

This low rent dreary voodoo pic may be one of the dullest low budget horror/science fiction films from the fifties. The film is set in some nondescript jungle where a band of adventurers arrive at the remote jungle home of a "white doctor" and his native wife. The wife is always putting hexes on her doctor husband whom she hates, although the reason for her malice is never explained. The sets consists of a few cheap jungle sets, and the interior of the house. The native population is a strange polyglot mix of blacks, whites and what looks like Indonesians so often found in cheap jungle pictures. The only reason for watching this (other than if you are completest like me) is the presence of Allison Hayes, who looks gorgeous in a flower print sarong. THE DISEMBODIED is one of a handful of cheap Voodoo pictures made in the fifties. Most of these weren't any good, but some like ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU at least have a kind of campy, cockeyed charm that makes them appealing. THE DISEMBODIED is a film so dreary and uneventful that it is no wonder it is mostly forgotten today except by fans of the lovely Allison Hayes.
