Angel is very much in love with Rico - but of course she doesn't know
that he's actually some kind of monster in human form, and he and his
sister Dona actually want to suck Angel's lifeforce out of her. One day
during a romantic walk through the landscape, Rico almost succeeds in
seducing Angel and sucking her dry in the process - but two hunters
interfere and shoot Rico half dead. Only just is he able to save himself
to his sister's place. With her brother more dead than alive, Dona decides
to avenge him, and she soon enough kills Angel's parents and then kidnaps her as she
figures Angel's lifeforce will heal Rico - but Angel is able to put up
enough of a fight to survive until a local cop arrives to save her,
using among other things a pack of cats (the mortal enemies of the
monster-people) and a bear trap. In the end though, the monsters are
destroyed by the power of Angel's prayer (really). Objectively
speaking, Birahi Perempuan Halus is just a bad film - the story is as
simplistic as it is silly, and it's sloppily told as well, the monster
makeup is pathetic, the special effects (mainly made up from coloured
lights and fog) are basic at best, and the directorial effort is bland and
functional ... and yet, as a piece of pure trash, this film is a pure gem,
a film (unintentionally?) reminiscent reminiscent of monster movies from
the 1950's to the 70's, featuring its fair share of scantily clad girls,
obvious shocks and silly action scenes, all packed into a charmingly naive
narrative. So if you're at all into trash horror, you'll probably love
this one ...
