Werewolf in a Womens Prison

A blend of two types of movies. As bad as one expected, and as bad as one hoped for. And the werewolf has glowing eyes. No shortage of blood, as it came out like from a garden hose. Sarah and Jack are camping, told not to go there, as most don't return. Jack is attacked, and Sarah will wind up with the curse, becoming a werewolf. She is accused of killing Jack, so sent to a prison, where she is quickly photographed. Asked what kind of photos are they taking, and told it is for the prison girls gone wild website. No shortage of cliches or dumb jokes. In her cell, her cell mate offers her tequila. She takes a drink and says ugh! Well, I didn't say it was good tequila. Some of the best acting is done by the rats, and there are plenty of them. For a WIP movie, the nudity is a bit tame, but plenty of thongs evident. It is a movie that will be quickly forgotten.

What happens when you mix a Werewolf and a Women's Prison? Well, ya get a movie that's chock full of fun gore, nice nudity, and some cheesy acting. What more can you want from a modern exploitation flick? Werewolf in a Womens Prison was a nice lil surprise. Werewolves are my favorite out of the classic creatures, and WIP films are some of my favorite type of exploitation settings. Naturally, I should have liked it, right? Damn right! The movie offers everything you would want and then some. You get nudity, actually some really good nudity, like Double G tits nudity. And you get a surprising amount of the red stuff. From decapitations to hot chicks being ripped in two! The flick's plot is basically it's title, Werewolf in a Womens Prison, that's all you need to know. It's simple, effective, and more than anything, fun. The movie isn't a masterpiece of exploitation film-making, it's writing and acting were very cheesy, sometimes a bit too much. And one thing that really bothered me was one chick, possibly the hottest of them all, didn't show her boobs. The weird thing, I knew almost immediately she wasn't. I just got this hunch that she won't be showing the goods. Damn shame too, it would have been really nice. Nevertheless, the movie is a silly boob and gore filled flick that should easily appeal to fans of cheesy horror/exploitation. For a nice double-feature watch this and Gutterballs.

First things first, this is obviously a very low budget movie. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but you get what you can expect from something like that: cheesy acting, poor camera work and sound, and some laughable special effects.

That being said, it was decently made for what they had to work with. On to the actual contents of the movie: with a title like this, you know beforehand what you'll get - And in that respect, this movie definitely doesn't disappoint. The title is cheesy, and says it all: A woman only prison being plagued by a werewolf menace. The story is thin but decently executed, and they actually made some effort of keeping it going when they were not preoccupied by having a drawn out chase scene or getting down&dirty with each other.

Lots of gore, lots of blood, lots of female nudity and lots of sex. It's like visiting the 70's all over again. If you're fond on this kind of movie, it's decent enough to watch. If you want to have a laugh at how cheesy it is, definitely go for it! It gets a 5 out of 10 from me, for taking something predictable and making it halfway decent.

The problem with really bad movies that seem to spoof a genre is that it is often hard to distinguish between where they are intentionally bad and where they are just plain bad. Werewolf in a Women's Prison is probably a bit of both.

First and foremost this is right smack in the middle of all the women in prison movies you've seen or heard about. Lots of semi-naked women, lesbian scenes that mostly involve fondling and as one poster said, NO SHOWER SCENE! Dang!

Secondly, this is a blood and gore movie. Lots of slash and rip, with arterial blood pumping far into the air and over everything in sight.

Put the two together with mostly bad acting, dialog that attempts to fit the stereotypes and well... you end up with either a great spoof of the genres or a really bad movie.

In either case, I enjoyed this one a lot more than I expected and laughed (and groaned) a lot more than I expected.

Victoria De Mare was so-so as the lead. Not too bad a job of acting and reasonably attractive. Certainly though not the beauty that her character is supposed to be.

On the other hand, Eva Derrick who played a supporting role as Rachel, another prisoner and Victoria's friend, did a far superior acting job and is truly a beautiful woman. Ms. Derrick has about 20 movies to her credit, looks like all in the horror/slasher exploitation genre. I'll be looking at more of her movies. So if nothing else, I'm happy with this movie because of finding her. I hope she makes it into more mainstream roles.

All ratings (including mine) are very generous. There's something likeable and entertaining about this movie, although according to most standards it should barely make two stars.

The acting is pretty bad. The movie is more about the prison than a werewolf and more about the women than the prison, particularly certain parts of the women. The plot is barely detectable. The effects were cheesy. I can't really think of anything done well here, yet I gave it five stars. There's a bit of a copycat theme from "American Werewolf in London" where the boyfriend highly resembles one of those characters, but it's not really original.

Yes, it's because of the boobs and the sometimes erotic undertones. If you ignore the werewolf part and the prison part, you are left with cat fights and lesbian love scenes as well as light BDSM. I'd say seven stars for that performance while keeping it from being X-rated.

If female curves are not your thing, skip this one.
