The title She Devil is a dying woman with no hope who is administered an experimental serum. It's implied she acquired tuberculosis because of a shady past. This is never really followed up on. This not only cures here but makes her heal quickly and seemingly invulnerable to most injuries. It also has some positive and negative side effects- it makes her able to turn blonde and this seems to make her 1000 times hotter. The downside is she almost immediately turns into a thief, brazenly assaulting a man in a crowded clothing store and turning to murder over the slightest insult. She is now every man's nightmare, an empowered woman- evil, devious, deceitful, murderous and greedy but also his dream- blonde, beautiful, sexy and seductive.
The main character goes along with her misdeeds but is eventually convinced by his scientist friend who I think was secretly his gay lover to try to knock her out so they can remove that most sinister of human body parts- the pineal gland. Scientists to this day still don't know what it is for but filmmakers are convinced that when it's stimulated it causes one to turn purely malevolent. Unfortunately she isn't a Nipe addict like in Leech Woman but also doesn't turn haggardly. Eventually they are able to knock her unconscious in a ludicrous scene and remove her vile pineal gland through the nose because the younger scientist is still in love with her and doesn't want her scarred in any way. His hopeless love is never requited as we get some lame throwaway line at the end about only a higher power being able to save her now. This was pretty much the only time religion was mentioned in the movie and seems tacked on to give the movie some morals or something. It was definitely immoral portraying women as only being murderous, greedy sex-pots and men as complete horn-dogs who will do anything for a beautiful woman no matter how loathsome she is. At one point the characters receive a painting of the woman while she is on her honeymoon. She is really beautiful in it but also appears to be surrounded by hellfire, how appropriate. Even though she's no longer evil she dies at the end. We get a final line "she was so beautiful" proving that women only have value if they are good looking and men only care if they are good looking. A great message movie!
