The Undead
Filmed under the title The Trance of Diana Love, this period time travel fantasy is one of Roger Corman’s most distinctive AIP cheapies, wackily conceived and almost absurdly ambitious, but resourcefully shot on a shoestring. Probably the sexiest showcase the statuesque Allison Hayes ever had. We get witches, imps, reincarnated courtesans and the Devil himself, played outrageously by Corman regular Richard Devon. Lots of fun.
