A sun-baked, kitsch-gore horror classick restored uncut from 35mm elements assembled from Something Weird, Library of Congress, and Harvard Film Archive.   

"Love Goddesses is a tiny treasure of unknown, sun-baked trash. It’s a quick blast of buoyant scenery, hidden sex, z-rate Exotica, tongue in cheek nonsense, and stop-ya-in-yer-tracks gore. It’s also a surreal refuge from every day stresses, an island artifact of nickel and dime proportions that aims to shock, humor, and constantly baffle. The proof’s in the astroturf." - Joseph A. Ziemba, Bleeding Skull

"Something of a wet dream as scripted by Herschell Gordon Lewis and/or a nightmare of the incel set. Neither is a bad thing." - Rod Lott, Flick Attack

Lost for over five decades and now found, Love Goddesses of Blood Island (aka Six She's and  He) is a delirious horror-exotica manifestation from Florida. The story follows an astronaut (Bill Rogers, A Taste of Blood) who washes ashore on an island inhabited only by women . . . with a taste for guts. Produced in the shadow of the iconic Blood Feast and restored from the only known film elements in existence, this kitsch-gore classick is an essential psychotronic experience.
