Reviews:
“Meg Myles is suitably awful, pleased with herself and just a bit tawdry, capturing the bad girl in a big way. She embodies fading eye candy perfectly, almost as if she recognizes that time is catching up with her and she needs to make a big score, now. I very much enjoyed Grayson Hall’s acerbic performance as Pepe as well…” Digitally Obsessed
” …it’s unclear if Satan in High Heels is presenting the idea of women ultimately ruling over men as ironic or not. Its intent is questionable, despite the ambiguity as to who is really evil in the Satan in High Heels universe. Stacey gets hit, almost murdered, used, lusted at. Her social standing is not her choice, though. She has to work within the parameters of the existing male-dominated society…” She Blogged by Night
“Satan in High Heels is a tepid soap opera parading around as a 60s skin flick. It’s light on nudity (there’s an all too brief skinny dipping scene) and short on scuzzy thrills […] Myles never quite lives up to her “Satan” moniker and isn’t very convincing at playing a sexpot; although she does get to belt out a great song called “The Female of the Species (Is Deadlier than the Male)”.
