Description: When a British scientist disappears deep in the jungles of Akasava after discovering a rare, highly radioactive mineral, Scotland Yard dispatches top agent Jane Morgan to investigate. Teaming up with Rex Forrester, the scientist’s nephew, Jane uncovers a web of espionage, rival interests, and suspicious figures all hunting the same prize.
The mineral’s extraordinary properties—capable of transforming matter and inducing zombie-like states—turn the mission into a race against time. As betrayals surface and bodies pile up, Jane navigates jungle dangers, false allies, and secret identities to stop the stone from falling into the wrong hands.
A strange fusion of Krimi mystery, spy thriller, and Euro-cult surrealism, The Devil Came from Akasava stands as one of Jess Franco’s most eccentric genre hybrids. The film also holds special significance as a showcase for Soledad Miranda, whose mesmerizing screen presence shines here shortly before her tragic and untimely death in 1970—cementing her legacy as one of Euro-cult cinema’s most haunting icons.
