Artistic License – Biology: Leaving out the whole "youth serum" thing, the pineal gland is buried deep in the middle of the brain—the small spiked ring used to extract its juice is nowhere near big enough to get at it in a single rabbit punch to the back of the skull. | |

The Leech Woman / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: June commits suicide after realizing her murder of Sally (and by extension the others as well) was All for Nothing. The secret of naipe (which could've been studied and replicated) is almost certainly lost forever to the world, since the only people who knew about it and believed it was real are all dead, and the surviving Nandos are probably going to be even more isolationist than before. Finally, Neil's obsessive, controlling girlfriend is dead, as is the lady he instantly fell in love with, who was never actually real. | |

Artistic License – History | |
The Leech Woman / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Malla states that she and her mother were abducted from their tribe and sold into slavery in America when she was a child. If the move is meant to occur in the same year it was released (1960) this would mean that she was born in 1808, the year in which the transatlantic slave trade was banned in America by federal law. Though there's always been persistent speculation that there were some slaves illegally smuggled in after the ban was put in effect, so it's not impossible, but very improbable. Malla also states that they were taken by an Arab slave trader, presumably the Barbary pirates. While not impossible, this is highly unlikely, since at the time most African slaves were prisoners from internecine tribal conflicts who were sold to European slave traders. Given that her tribe apparently lived around Lake Tanganyika, it's far more likely that she would have been bought by British or Portuguese slavers. | |

Dysfunction Junction | |
The Leech Woman / int_820ac3c5 | comment |
Dysfunction Junction: Let's see, we have an endocrinologist motivated solely by greed and lust; his alcoholic wife he psychologically abuses mercilessly, yet who later loses all sympathy points by becoming the titular Leech Woman; a Great White Hunter motivated solely by greed and lust; a seemingly-noble lawyer who later reveals himself to be an inveterate cheater; a Yandere nurse willing to go to psychotic ends to keep her man (AND who hardly batted an eyelash as she saw aforementioned wife abused time and time again); and a Con Man motivated solely by greed and lust. The only remotely sympathetic character is Mala, a 150-year-old Magical Negro who sets the plot in motion, and even she's not that great, considering she has an innocent man of her tribe killed just so she can enjoy a few minutes of youth. You could say the policemen at the climax are not so bad, but the lead detective is smug to the point of being a complete ass even after Neil identifies himself as an attorney. | |

Asshole Victim | |
The Leech Woman / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: June's last tie to morality after she starts killing seems to be her choice of victims, most of whom were crimes of passion. Talbot's an obvious example. Sally was threatening to kill her if she didn't leave. David the hunter is where she first went over the slippery slope, but he both rejected her and refused to give her some naipe to slow down her Rapid Aging. The one time she kills in completely cold blood, her victim is the con artist who tries to kill her for the jewelry she wore as baitnote it could be called self-defense, but again she was luring him in for this explicit purpose — the film even spends a few minutes showing her rejecting the chance to ensnare the happy drunkard she meets earlier. | |

Hour of Power: The youth serum lasts about a day before it wears off. When combined with the fact that you need to kill a man to make a single dose of the serum, it quickly becomes clear that this is not a very sustainable method of acquiring eternal youth. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Just before June offs herself, she utters the following when seeing that Sally's pineal secretions were backfiring on her: | |

Dramatic Irony: Neil jokes with Sally that maybe Paul had the right idea treating June the way he did. The audience, of course, knows what Paul's ideas got him. | |

Scars are Forever: The brand of the Arab slaver who sold Malla and her mother is still present 140 years later, and even after she's been rejuvenated. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
The Leech Woman / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Apparently the restoration of her youth shaved off a few dozen of Malla's IQ points. "Well, I had been having psychic dreams about you becoming a murderer, but since I'm young now, I don't really care any more. Think I'll go get laid - seize the day, you know. Anyway, you've got free rein of the village 'til we execute you and your heavily-armed boyfriend tomorrow! Ta!" Neil Foster probably counts too. A supposedly intelligent lawyer lets himself be instantly seduced away from his fiancee by a client's niece whom he'd never heard of until she appears, and who looks and sounds exactly like a younger version of his client. Not to mention he has every reason to believe she's mentally unstable, given how she behaved earlier. Paul Talbot emotionally abuses his wife for years, drags her to Africa just to use her as a guinea pig in his experiments, announces that the best way to escape is leave her behind, and encourages her to pick a man to murder so that he can enact this plan. Then is shocked when she picks him. | |

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Paul spends the entire movie viciously verbally and emotionally abusing June, and then was surprised when June decided to have her youth restored using Paul as the sacrifice. | |

Tragic Dream | |
The Leech Woman / int_bdf2a460 | comment |
Tragic Dream: Once she returns from the jungle, June's willing to kill for enough pineal juice to allow her to experience real love with Neil. Objectively, there's no way this relationship could last, even without the police being nosy about all those murders. | |

Pineal Weirdness | |
The Leech Woman / int_d0b81ec4 | comment |
Pineal Weirdness: As mentioned above. When mixed with naipe extract male pineal makes ladies younger and female makes them old. One wonders if the opposite applies to men, although it's never shown. | |

Mighty Whitey: Surprisingly averted in a 1950's film. There is a scene that could qualify — where David's porters appear to be spooked by some buzzards and David seems to be reassuring them — but it's open to interpretation as the dialogue is untranslated. | |
