Summary: no werewolves
Comment: Just a lot of nudity, yelling, killing, and near misses from rapists.
What we have here is a woman who is apparently the descendant of a woman who was a werewolf. She gets raped and I guess this lets her tap into her ancestery, which in turn lets her just go absolutely nuts for the rest of the movie.
No werewolf transformation, though. She is affected by the moon, but it doesn't turn her into a furball. It just turns her into a murderer. So she goes on a rampage and kills a lot until she finds love. I won't spoil things from there, but if you watch the movie you're going to know where it's going by then.
It's a great movie.
Get it in the Wicked Women three pack though. Same DVD as here, just two other freebies basically.

Summary: Grrrrrrl Power!...
Comment: Daniela (Annik Borel) is haunted by the rape she suffered as a child. She begins having visions of her great-grandmother dancing naked and turning into a werewolf. After watching her sister having sex w/ her husband, Daniela lures her brother-inlaw into the woods, where she goes all feral and rips his throat out w/ her teeth! Thus begins her descent into insanity and further neggidness! Daniela is put in restraints in a mental ward, until a spritely nymphomaniac gal lets her loose, only to become another victim. Once out, Daniela is picked up by a dirty old man who tries to rape her. Huge mistake! He is dealt with in grisly fashion! Next, Daniela meets a nice guy who means her no harm. This leads to the only true happiness in Daniela's life. Unfortunately, this is short-lived, as a trio of scumbags follow her home one night and... well, you can probably guess what happens. The rest is a revenge flick w/ the tattered remains of Daniela's mind reaching their final limit. I felt sorry for Daniela and hated (most of) her victims. Who wouldn't cheer her on during the junkyard vengeance scene?? I like this movie a lot, but keep granny and the small-fry far away!...

Summary: NOT A WEREWOLF MOVIE
Comment: The only interesting thing about this movie is that the DVD jacket is reversible. I had never seen that before. This only means is that you can have two different covers of a bad movie.This movie is about a delusional woman who thinks she's a werewolf. There is one dream-like scene at the beginning where she transforms into a...a...a really shoddy looking werewolf. After that nothing but a psychological case study. I gotta tell you I fell asleep shortly after the beginning and woke to an incesant hammering. In that half awake state I couldn't get the hammering out of my head. I thought I was going insane. I woke and knew the hammering was in the movie, but that I my sanity was still in question because there was still 20 minutes left.

Summary: Nude, Slobbering Wolf Woman On The Loose!
Comment: WEREWOLF WOMAN (LA LUPA MANNARA, 1976): Daniela is a mentally disturbed young woman, whose childhood rape has left her with a psychotic hatred of all men. Obsessed with a supposedly lycanthropic ancestor, Daniela eventually comes to believe that she suffers the same affliction, and soon begins to go on gory male killing sprees at night. Her reign of terror is momentarily ended by a forced visit to a lunatic asylum, but she escapes with the assistance of another female patient who Daniela repays by stabbing to death. The murders continue until the police finally catch up with her. At the end, the viewer learns that the whole shocking story is absolutely true!Cheap, exploitative euro-trash, much less fun than it should be thanks to Rino Di Silvestro's amazingly shoddy direction, which mostly consists of a preponderance of sloppily utilized handheld cameras and an incredible over reliance on the zoom lens. The infamously poor werewolf "special effects", proudly on view in the hilarious opening credits sequence, are pathetic beyond belief. Lots of nudity and gore, and the presence of the beautiful Dagmar Lassander in a minor role, do nothing to stop this from being one of the very dullest of all Italian horror offerings, as well as possibly the absolute worst lycanthropy themed movie ever made.
The Shriek Show DVD is an anamorphic wide-screen (1.85:1) presentation of this ludicrous effort, utilizing an okay if somewhat weatherbeaten print, with plenty of speckles throughout. Extras consist of a filmed interview with Rino Di Silvestro and a gallery of his graphics work (unrelated to the film), a poster and photo gallery, and theatrical trailers of other Shriek Show releases, TWO ORPHANED VAMPIRES, PLANKTON, GRAVEYARD SHIFT and FIANCEE OF DRACULA. If you are already one of the very few fans of the film, this is a recommended purchase. Otherwise, avoid.

Summary: aka Naked Werewolf Woman
Comment: This awesome Euro cult film is about Danielle (Annik Borel) who was traumatised in her youth and now, as a young woman, believes herself to be the reincarnation of a long dead werewolf ancestor. She has a phobia of men and sex, and when her sister (Dagmar Lassander) returns home from study overseas with her new husband, she kills him thus begining a decent into madness and murder.Despite the title, the only werewolf in the film appears in the opening scene in which Danielle is having a nightmare of her ancestor (also played by Annik Borel) dancing naked then transforming before being caught by a mob of pitch-fork brandishing and torch waving villages, who burn her at the state like a witch. So if you want a standard werewolf movie, then maybe you should check out a Naschy instead, but for anyone who likes good a Euro flick or giallo then I highly recomend this one.
The film has a great cinematic style with occasional spatterings of gore and generous helpings of nudity. Annik Borel is brilliant playing the werewolf woman as she manages to look genuinely detached and vunerable then instantly snapping to a furious insane rage. In the hands of a lesser leading lady the film would probually fail.
BUYER BEWARE however. As great as this film is, this 'Shriek Show' DVD version maybe uncut but is however incorrectly framed and missing picture information on all sides. There is a much better R2 Japanese DVD out there (which I own) but it is more expensive and requires region free equipment.
Overall a 5-star film with a poor 1-star DVD presentation.
