From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The Leech Woman is a 1960 black-and-white American horror film directed by Edward Dein, produced by Joseph Gershenon, and starring Coleen Gray, Grant Williams, Gloria Talbott and Phillip Terry.
The plot follows a middle-aged American woman, desperate to be young
again, who uses an ancient, secret African potion to regain her lost
youth and beauty. The potion works, but only temporarily, requiring
repeated usage. Produced in 1959, Leech Woman's US theatrical release from Universal-International was as a double feature with The Brides of Dracula.Back to me- mostly it is boring. For some reason I thought this was a Corman movie, but it isn't. It's not even that lurid. Coleen Gray is pretty great in the role, and the cast is fine, they just don't get to do much. It is very predictable as well, though I thought she would waste away in front of the cops, rather than kill herself. Having so many bits from Sven and all didn't help the movie, though it was fun to see them.
Next: The Undead, which we have already reviewed and probably won't watch at all.
