Konterr Brilliant and touching

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

hrkepler 63 minutes have hardly ever felt so long. The original title of the film was simply 'Shark Reef' but 'She Gods' were added by insistence by AIP. Roger Corman himself said, that he has no idea what or who is 'She God', so the title is misleading. 'She Gods of Shark Reef' was filmed back to back with 'Naked Paradise' in Hawaii mostly because Roger Corman wanted to get maximum use out of the locations.Two brothers (Bill Cord and Don Durant), whom one is wanted for manslaughter and smuggling, are washed ashore after shipwreck on the island inhabited only by women. Two beefcakes and many gorgeous women in short skirts. The men are not welcomed on the island and one of the girls (Lisa Montell) is blamed for saving the men thus bringing down the wrath of god (as we learn, that is not the titular 'She God'). The brothers need to escape from the island, one wants to save the girl, other wants to steal the pearls.The lacking of dialogue, proper plot or coherent story in all levels reveals how rushed that particular production was. Corman has said, that this was his most enjoyable experience making movies, but I guess he never thought that it might not be so enjoyable to audiences. 'She Gods of Shark Reef' is one Corman film that anyone could (or even should) pass. At least herewriter can't recommend that particular piece of exploitation.

Chase_Witherspoon When Durant kills a guard during a failed arms theft, he convinces his friend (Cord) to sail to a remote island where friends will shelter him to avoid capture by authorities. Alas, the boat on which they sail capsizes in a storm and the two survivors are saved by the inhabitants of an island of women, governed by maternal den mother Gerson. The women work for an unidentified corporation, harvesting pearls, hula dancing and fishing. Sounds idyllic, except that Gerson has summoned the police to recover the fugitives, spurring them to engineer an escape - along with local girl Montell with whom Cord has become romantically involved.It's cheap, uninspired Roger Corman nonsense; picturesque with amiable performances by Montell, Cord and Durant in particular, but little excitement or suspense. The shark reef itself doesn't appear especially threatening, the largest specimen six feet at best and looking more like a lemon shark than a fearsome tiger. Durant and Cord have obviously spent time preparing for their roles in the gymnasium, while Montell has ensured no evident tan lines blur the imagination. Gerson is a matron-like mother superior, disapproving of the boys and their ambitions for her young, impressionable charges.The climax surpassed the meagre expectations, and generally the narrative is pretty coherent albeit very compact. If you worship the Corman factory, then "She Gods" will take pride of place on your shelf. If however you're only a casual viewer, even at barely a tick over the hour mark, this might be a bit too fast and loose to keep you entertained.

jhammond59 I saw this movie - for free, thank heavens - at my timeshare on Kauai. This was one of many films shot on Kauai, more movies were shot here than any other island in the Hawaiian chain. Since I normally like Corman's movies, and many scenes were shot at places I've been on the island, most obviously Hanalei pier, I thought, "How bad could it be?" You know you're in trouble when you have trouble getting through half of a very short movie. My friends and I continually looked at each other as if to say, "Are you enjoying any of this?" Bad cinematography made it hard to recognize places I was at only hours before! Whoever did the transfer to DVD - and why?? - either found the worst print available, or used an ancient duplicator. There is one plus I can give this film, I now can say I saw a movie that rates lower than Plan 9 from Outer Space. OK, half a movie. Do not see this movie if you like Roger Corman's movies, you'll change your mind.

Coventry A simple, one-lined description of this movie would sound a little like: two guys wash ashore a tropical island exclusively inhabited by women that dive for pearls all day and worship ocean Gods… Terrific! Sounds like a movie many (male) exploitation fans would want to see. Or better yet, where can we go to book our very own holiday to this island? In reality, however, "She Gods of Shark Reef" is nothing but a good-looking package with absolutely no content. Roger Corman is one of the greatest and most important directors in (B-) movie history, but many of his obscure mini-budget productions of the late 50's really aren't worth bothering for. Movies like "Creature from the Haunted Sea", "Attack of the Crab Monsters" or this "She Gods of Shark Reef" were shot in a period of only a few days and without a real script, merely because Corman had a handful of extra dollars to spend and/or wanted to make more out of a certain filming location. The events take place in Hawaii and the beautiful images of this wonderful place are the ONLY reason to give this movie a glimpse. It's one of Corman's first movies shot in color and the place does look enchanting even though nothing really is happening there. The two male leads are supposed to be running from the law and the female leader of the island doesn't want them there, especially not since one of them is after her slave girls. The other guy is more interested in the shiny pearls, so needless to say he's not going to make it out alive. Or is he? You better not be expecting any vicious shark-attacks or virgin sacrifices, because you WILL feel cheated. The closest we come to an action sequence is when a native girl encourages the handsome blond guy to dance with her. Despite the gorgeous setting and promising (but misleading) title, this is one of the most boring films I ever watched. 63 minutes never lasted this long. Sorry, Roger
