The Disembodied

Before she was the title character in Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman, voluptuous Allison Hayes was a whole lotta female in this horror thriller set in the steamy African jungle. Hayes plays Tonda, the restless wife of a misanthropic doctor. When men on a photo safari stumble into the doctor's remote camp with a wounded comrade, Tonda supplements her usual pursuit (voodoo, especially as a way to off her husband) with a new one: seduction. As men lose their hearts (one literally) to the alluring voodoo priestess, she embarks on a killing spree that turns the jungle blood red. A preposterously enjoyable mix of magic and murder, The Disembodied demonstrates why Hayes was headed for B-horror-movie glory.
