She Demons (1958)

Rather hokey Nazis in the jungle horror nonsense.

Fred (Tod Griffin) and Jerri (Irish McCalla) are shipwrecked (along with a couple of racial stereotypes) on a remote island after a storm. After a brief setting up scene where they become an incredibly annoying couple, they discover a drowned young girl with horrific facial disfigurements. Fred, Jerri and Sammy (Victor Sen Yung) head into the island's interior where they discover native girls (who don't look very native at all) and their captors... Nazis! 

Deranged Nazi scientist Osler (Rudolph Anders) is trying to use the youth of the young women to restore the looks of his beloved Mona (Leni Tala) who was horrifically disfigured in an accident. Osler however, when he sees Jerri, considers ditching Mona or at least using Jerri for his mad Nazi medical experiments...

The film isn't that bad at all though let down by some of the main cast who are a little bland. For a 1950s horror with a little mild exploitation it could be a lot worse.
