2008 Horror Fest: Werewolf In A Womans Prison: 25 Out Of 100 Stars

This is intended as nothing more than schlock. It's a pure B movie and while I can't say that it is all together unfun to watch, it was equally wretched.

I'm not real familiar with this genre of film as I'm pretty sure the people who made it intended it to be cheesy and schlocky, compared to other utter crap which is intended to be good. So coming in I expected it to be bad, but also fun, alas it just wasn't all that much fun.

We start out somewhere in South America with a couple of campers. Right away I was perturbed by the fact that the sex was happening with the bitches panties on. I never understood that and I never will. Anyhoo, a meeting in the woods with the werewolf leaves the dude dead and the woman detained in a womans prison for the criminally insane.

Turns out they're in a fictional South American country and the man who runs the prison pretty much just finds tourists on the street and frames them so he can lock them up and he and his guards can fuck them.

Unfortunately for him this particular prisoner has been bitten by a werewolf and by the end of the film she gets revenge on them all.

Now, the acting and writing is horrible. The lines are intended to be hokey but instead of laughing at their hokeyness i just sat there thinking it was hokey. The dessert is full of lush greenery and rivers. The werewolf looks more like a giant Tarantula. Scenes supposed to be at night are clearly occurring during the day, a lot of scenes go back and forth from night to day depending on where they are. The lead is the least attractive woman in the movie. There's a lot of boobies and about 4 simulated sex scenes but again, they always fuck with panties on. There's nothing more infuriating than a chick bent over acting like she's being fucked when her panties are clearly on. The special effects are so bad, and not laughable bad, but distracting bad. Gunfire is a myriad of random photoshop blasts that make it hard to see anything that's supposed to be happening. Every time someone gets attacked they end up with what appears to be hamburger layered on their chest or neck. Seriously, every wound looks the same, because it pretty much is. There's a great scene at the end where we get a nice shot of a paper mache head right before it's ripped off. A balloon would have looked better.

So yeah, there are a few giggles early at the awfulness of it but once you get used to it it ceases to be funny and just gets irritating. Word on the street is that a lot of people enjoy this genre but I can't imagine who or why would like a whole world of movies like this one.
