Trivia:

Selected by Quentin Tarantino for the First Quentin Tarantino Film Fest in Austin, Texas, 1996. Tarantino had actually never seen the picture before he screened it. He loved it so much that all subsequent Quentin Tarantino Film Fests had a surprise movie added to the end of each all-nighter known as the "Wolf Woman" selection; defined as an outrageous exploitation film sure to wake the audience up. "Wolf Women" selections over the years have included The Blood Spattered Bride and Mighty Peking Man.

Eurotrash extraordinaire, as a sultry woman possessed goes through the wringer trying to a find a guy who's throat she doesn't want to tear out.

This wildly exploitive Italian gem features a luscious blonde lead experiencing lycanthropic spasms flagrante delicto, making a bloody mess of the men she naturally attracts until she finds true love in the arms of a gentle beefcake stuntman. Unfortunately, it's a short-lived cure, when out of the blue, a band of sadistic thugs rape her and kill her boyfriend. Sleazy fun; even the bland expository scenes offer some hilariously inane dialogue. Bitchin'.
