    Low budget, but decently made

    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.

    Ratings are very generous

    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.

    Great title; enjoyable film.

    Two of my favourite movie sub-genres—'werewolves' and 'women-in-prison'—are rolled into one in this low budget and deliberately trashy effort that aims to answer the question 'What would happen if a lycanthrope was incarcerated in an all-female correctional facility?'.

    Victoria De Mare plays Sarah Ragdale, a young woman whose romantic camping holiday with her boyfriend turns into a nightmare when a werewolf rudely interrupts their fun. Narrowly surviving a savage attack, Sarah awakens to find herself an inmate in a filthy prison run by a corrupt warden and his masochistic assistant, having been wrongly convicted of killing her lover (whose body was found torn to pieces).

    Obviously one of the few people who hasn't seen 'An American Werewolf in London', Sarah is shocked when her dead boyfriend pays her a visit to explain that, since she is the survivor of a werewolf bite, the next full moon will see her transforming into a 7 foot tall, slavering beast with a hunger for flesh—succulent, female prisoner flesh!!

    Packed with wall-to-wall nudity and a whole heap of shoddy but gruesome effects, Werewolf in a Women's Prison is camp schlock horror that is knowingly awful—and for most of its running time, it proves to be pretty good fun: the women are all good looking and more than willing to strip off for the camera and indulge in a spot of soft-core lesbianism; the wolf itself is hilariously bad (the monster comes complete with glowing red light-bulb eyes); and the bloodletting is gloriously OTT (if not too convincing)—heads are torn off, limbs are ripped out, and one victim is even bisected when pulled through her cell bars by the beast.

    Sometimes the humour is a little laboured, the cribs from 'An American Werewolf in London' are a little too blatant, and, towards the end, the novelty of the film's intentional cheesiness does begin to wear a bit thin, but if you're in the mood for a mindless slice of sexy and gory silliness, you could do worse. A lot worse. Trust me, I know!

    6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

    Delightfully fun modern exploitation!

    The title of this movie is great. Not only does it pretty much describe the whole plot in a nutshell, it also clearly alludes to the type of film that this is; and as modern exploitation throwbacks go, Werewolf in a Women's Prison is a damn fine example! The film mixes two genres; obviously werewolves and women in prison and adds in a sleazy atmosphere and a delightfully twisted sense of humour. The result is a film that is not for everyone; but will certainly entertain all the right people! The film takes place in a fictional country named Canpuna, which would appear to be somewhere near Mexico. We start off with a sequence that sees a young couple camping out in the woods somewhere. It soon becomes apparent that there's danger in the woods and danger soon manifests itself in the form of a huge grisly werewolf that kills the boyfriend and attacks the girl before being fought off. The girl then wakes up in a prison being ran by a bunch of unforgiving wardens who make it pretty clear that she won't be getting any help from the American Embassy. What they don't know is that they've hauled in a werewolf...

    Naturally, considering the type of film, it's very cheap and the acting is rubbish; but I'm sure that nobody going into this film would expect any different. One of the best things about it is the way that it handles the plot; a werewolf in a woman's prison doesn't exactly have a lot of room for innovation, but the film actually does manage to keep things varied and interesting which is to it's credit; although it does directly rip-off An American Werewolf in London. The film doesn't disappoint in terms of nudity and gore and there are plenty of both. It's only soft-core nudity but all the girls are nice to look at and have more than ample chests; which are exposed as often as possible. The gore is fake looking and cheesy but great fun to watch and the film doesn't let its budget constrain it as a lot of the gore scenes are quite inventive. The werewolf itself is hilarious but it's clear that the filmmaker's weren't looking to create a monster that would scare and the huge lumbering hairy monster does actually fit in quite well. Overall, this is not brilliant or a masterpiece; but it's encouraging that films like this are still being made and I'm sure that Werewolf in a Woman's Prison will delight and amuse most exploitation fans!

    A most excellent throwback to exploitation B movies

    This is one of the best movies ever. Yes, it's not for everyone, and yes there will be people that hate it, but it's pure nirvana for fans of low-budget, old-school, exploitation flicks. If you like the kind of stuff Something Weird Video puts out, if you like Troma flicks, If you liked The Halfway House then you should be grooving on this one.

    The title says it all, there's a werewolf and she's in women's prison. Fans of American Werewold in London will find something to appreciate here, but I won't spoil it. Fans of nudie exploit movies will be happy as well as there is a plentiful display of female attributes.

    I was pleasantly surprised to see Bernadette Perez who was in a few of the older flicks from The Asylum in which she supplied some of the nudity. Sadly she remained clothed in this (WTF is up with that anyway?).

    I have only one real negative criticism of the film, and that is that it didn't have a shower scene. Every fan of women in prison (WIP) flicks knows that a shower scene is one of the most important scenes in the genre and so I felt a bit let down. I will mostly overlook the transgression because of a lot of assorted nudity throughout but it's the only thing holding it back from a 10 for me.

    The gore is mostly pretty good and plentiful, though low-budget and cheesy. There was a little wince-worthy cgi at the end which would have been much better as practical f/x, but for the most part I liked the gore.

    So for folks who like this kind of stuff (and you know who you are), then you will want to see this post haste as it is one of the finest example of the genre in years.
