Format:DVD
The Optimum DVD is a very nice transfer of this highly underrated Hammer film. Although not as good as SHE this sequel is nevertheless entertaining, at times exciting, and has fine production values throughout. Olinka Berova is one of Hammer's most beautiful discoveries and she turns in a sympathetic performance as the supposed reincarnation of Ayesha. This often maligned film is certainly of more than passing interest to Hammer's legion of fans and does not deserve its poor reputation.

Carol has disturbing dreams and wakes up screaming "Ayesha." She is also compelled to go to a secret destination. On the way, she has many trials and tribulations. She also befriends a psychiatrist that is interested in helping her by following her journey. Anyone who tries to deter her from her quest is mysteriously killed in the style of the movie "Final Destination" (2000). What will she find there and is she actually Ayesha or the victim of mind control?
Many viewers like to say, "This is not like the book `The Return of She'"; for these movie viewers have to also get over the loss of Ursula Andrews and the absence of the whip (should be "G" rated). Once the shock is over this is quite a good movie.
The sets and scenes were well done. There was nothing unbelievable and nothing that looked like cardboard. The blue flame looked familiar to the original "She" Viewers.
The cast was well chosen for the movie. Of course, there is Olinka Berova (Schoberov?) as Carol. She faithfully does a convincing job of playing a confused Carol/Ayesha. Another surprise is Colin Blakely. He plays a rich yacht owner (George) in this movie and played a rich yacht owner (Sir Horace Blatt) in Agatha Christie's "Evil Under the Sun" (1982)

Format:DVD
The Vengeance of She is more of a plodding modern-day rerun with a third rate cast than a sequel - no Ursula Andress, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee or even Bernard Cribbins, with only John Richardson, the Clive Owen of his day (looks like a movie star, acts like a block of wood), returning (although at least Hammer were smart enough never to let him use his own voice: as usual, he's dubbed, here by David De Keyser), and no connection with any of H. Rider Haggard's three follow-up novels. This time it's the reincarnation of Ayesha being inexplicably drawn towards Kumar, with everyone who stands in her way meeting a rather boring death en route to a predictable appointment with the eternal flame. Unfortunately she's played by another one of Hammer's less than stellar discoveries, Olinka Berova. You can't exactly say that the lights are on but no-one's home because, in her case, she doesn't seem to have even bothered to turn the lights on. You know you're in trouble when Edward Judd is the most charismatic cast member, and this is pretty tedious factory line stuff no-one has any real need to see.
No extras and an indifferent transfer.

Quite dissapointed.
This was a big disappointment. I like Haggard's books, and the first 'She' movie was respectful to the source material, but this 'sequel' is something completely different. Read more

...not as good as the original 'She' film that I saw in the mid 1960's, very slow to begin with but improves halfway onwards...
