Mad Scientist Dr. Roland (Tom Conway) hides himself away deep in the jungle, using the native's voodoo magic for his experiments to create an indestructible being to serve his will. One unsuccessful attempt producses a hideous looking female monstrosity who will not kill for him because he used a woman of high moral standing as his subject. He needs a woman of fewer scruples, and it is only a party of gold seekers accidentally stumble upon his operation that he finds the woman he's looking for - the murderous leader of the band of gold seekers Marilyn Blanchard (Marla English)!

There's no reason to beat around the bush with this film - this is classic low-budget camp that most will watch for laughs rather than to enjoy any cinematic artistry. However, despite its almost non-existent budget, Voodoo Woman isn't all that bad of an effort. The twisted villain trying to mix science with Voodoo is what really gives this one an interesting element. The ever-present tribal drumming throughout helps create an ominous atmosphere, and Marla English being front & center is certainly a big bonus. This is clearly a low-budget, grade-B film from days gone by which many youngsters today won't like or appreciate. However, the suggestions by many that this is one of the worst films ever made is definitely a bit of a stretch, too. In any case, having grown up with movies like this in my early years I personally didn't think it was that bad, and for that reason I recommend it for other fans of forgotten cinema.
