Another Mikels Meltdown.... :=8P

Bad, boring, black magic mumbo-jumbo written and directed by Ted V Mikels("The Girl in the Golden Boots", "The Corpse Grinders")shows no blood, but there is an orgy of tedium. Mara, the "Queen of the Black Witches" kills via black magic - in this case, muttering the lines "so mote it be" over and over ad naeuseum, or pretending to channel an native american spirit who talks in the worst "Injun" dialogue ever ("you no want-em pappoose". The She-devils are her scantily-clad, empty-headed dancers, who perform odious dances not unlike those in Mikels' other miserable dance-choaked films ("The Girl in the Gold Boots")- in fact, Leslie McRea appears in both films, and is equally wooden. What "Blood Orgy" has that other Mikels' debacles doesn't is a lot of screaming - a whole lot! So much of the dialogue is screamed by the actors that the whole herd got a raging headache long before the much-welcomed ending. This is one of the longest 73 minutes you're likely to spend, and certainly one of the moost boring. As one character aptly states: "I don't like what I see here". The MooCow agrees whole-heartedly. :=8P
