Tubi Thursday: Werewolf Woman (1976)

 As March is Women's History Month, I might as well do something for that.

Instead of all of those Male Werewolves, let's cover a...

A woman in the 17th Century (or so) is targeted for being a Werewolf, killing a man that was part of the group hunting her.

This is, of course...
…a dream.  Or a vision.

Our Heroine is the ancestor of this woman (so she's played by the same Actress, of course).

She's traumatized by a (thankfully-not-shown) rape that happened to her at a young age.  Starting this Month off strong!
She's a bit unbalanced, freaking out after her Sister has sex with her Husband in private.

She lures him outside and kills him, freaking out more as you can see.
She's put under Doctor's care for her 'hysteria,' but manages to escape by killing a helpful Patient and Nurse.

She goes on a series of killings that involve her watching people have sex and then killing one (or both) of them.
She's not well and we have a Detective following her.

So the Film is Italian, but got a rewrite and English Dub (which I'm watching).

As such, I don't know if the Detective LITERALLY explaining Scenes we already saw was in that Version or just for us dumb Americans.
She finds happiness with a man in the Country, but the Film turns into Straw Dogs/I Spit on Your Grave when they kill him and have their way with her.

She goes further mad, kills them and is found in the Woods.

A bleak bit of narration just says that she died in a Mental Hospital and her Dad killed himself.  Fun!  The End.
Eh, it's not great.  I can't be 100% sure where the fault lies as this was rewritten (it has a separate Writer), recut a bit and Dubbed by an American Producer.

That said, the bulk of the Film boils down to a few things- people have implied sex, she watches, she freaks out and she kills people.  There's not much meat on the bone here, which would definitely disappoint all of you Lycanthropes out there.

For some of you, all of the Nudity is a plus.  Take that for what you will.

Werewolf Woman is mostly alot of freaking out, some sex and violence.  If you want that (but not an actual Werewolf), enjoy.

Just some sleazy Italian trash to end your day.  What more could you ask for?
