Queens of Evil (Italian: Le regine) is a 1970 fantasy horror film directed by Tonino Cervi and starring Haydée Politoff, Silvia Monti, Ida Galli and Ray Lovelock.
A young carefree hippie named David is involved in an altercation with a motorist after stopping to fix his flat tire, which results in the motorist's death. David avoids the police and rides deep into the forest, spending the night in a woodshed. The next morning he encounters three mysterious sisters who entice and draw him into their world.
Mondo Macabro released Queens of Evil on Blu-ray on March 9, 2021.[2]
Rue Morgue magazine spoke positively of the film, praising its "hazy dreamlike quality" and noting it possesses "an obvious giallo flavor," while drawing comparisons to Lucio Fulci's A Lizard in a Woman's Skin (1971) as "a film similarly entranced/repulsed by hippie culture and sexual transgression."[3]
