Ahhhhhh…..another day off from the drudgery of work, and another big ol’ pile of DVD’s in my mailbox. What could be better? Mistress Neko wants to curl up and rot her lil’ brain with some baaaad, baaaad movies….and what could be more perfect than the low budget “direct to DVD” wonder that is “Werewolf in a Woman’s Prison”?
Originally scheduled to be released last September 4th as part of Under the Bed Films “Midnight Horror Stories” line, it just inexplicably never came out, despite much hype by Fangoria Magazine and others. Most figured it was headed for the “Big Video Shelf” in the sky……but…. At last it has turned up as a very low budget disc that looks like the filmmakers ran it off in their cellar for general distribution. But who cares? It’s a cheesy “Women in Prison/ Monster Movie”….not “Gone With the Wind”. (That much Neko-chan can promise you for certain. Hehehe…)
Well, anyways, here’s a quick synopsis from the film’s Homepage: “Ignoring the warnings of local residents, Sarah and her boyfriend, Jack, camp out in the mountains of Campuna. Jack gets ripped apart by a werewolf, and Sarah is badly mauled. Blamed for her boyfriend’s gruesome death, Sarah is thrust into a Third World women’s prison for the criminally insane. Here she and other helpless females get abused and sold for sex by the evil warden and his whip-wielding lesbian cohort. But Sarah discovers she has super-animal strength. As the full moon emerges, she turns into a huge, ferocious monster, and rips many of her abusers to bloody shreds. The warden decides to make money off her affliction by putting on a show during the next full moon. Even the warden gets shocked as the monster breaks loose, and rips everyone to pieces. Will the warden get to use his silver bullets? Or will he end up another victim of Sarah’s out-of-control lycanthropic powers? A must for werewolf and women’s prison film aficionados.”
Sounds good so far, right….well then, let’s read on…..
