     This an O.K. soft-core flick with some hot girls, a 
VERY cool poster and a double DVD release that even 
comes with a making-of booklet.
     If you're looking for a special-effects extravaganza with
naked werewolves, watch Joe Dante's "The Howling (1981)." 
     If you dig Misty Mundae and Anoushka, this is one
werewolf flick you can't afford to miss!
     Heard about this film through The Mercenary Journal
MySpace account. We added Seduction Cinema as a friend a
few months back. And recently they started using the poster
as their default picture.
     It's really, really nice. It shows Mundae's character 
wolfing out in front of Big Ben. (The scene doesn't happen
in the movie, but it's nice anyway. ) Impressed, I didn't care 
if this film was good, bad or what. I just had to see it.
    It was shot in 2001, according to Director William Hellfire 
on the commentary track. It was released in the UK in 2006
with Anoushka as the headliner, according to IMDB.com 
Here in the States, the DVD will come out on June 28. But
I picked up my copy at the Seduction Cinema table at
Chiller Theatre in Parsippany, N.J. May 3. I even got to 
meet Misty. I told her how impressed I was by the poster art
by Vince Evans. That didn't seem to really faze her. 
     Anyway, the story is pretty simple, but it's not the worst
plot in the world. 
     A couple nympho lesbians who own a bar, Mundae and
LaRocca, make out. Then a stranger with a European accent, 
Anoushka, comes to the door. Two minutes later, she and 
Mundae get down to business on the couch. This is kinda 
how this picture flows. Thank God the girls are lovely.
      During this round, Anoushka turns into a hairy beast
and bites Mundae on the left arm. That confused the heck
out of me. Why not the neck? The breast? Or some other
erogenous zone? 
     I didn't expect much from the make-up effects. This is
super-low budget and they didn't have someone like Rob
Bottin around. I mean, Sybil Danning's werewolf make-up
in "Howling II (1985)" was better. This can't even touch 
Paul Naschy's hair-face Waldemar Daninsky.
     But, make-up man Michael R. Thomas does what he can,
and it's not the worst. It works O.K. I guess. Like films
in the '60s and '70s, the poster completes the image for us.
     Hellfire said he was inspired by "Werewolf Woman (1976),"
and kind of a less-is-more approach. I saw this flick recently. 
It's O.K. Kinda crazy. Can't say I recommend it.
     As "Erotic Werewolf" continues, Anoushka splits, then 
contacts a newspaper reporter (Zoe Moonshine) to tell her 
story. The scenes in the newspaper office are of the "so bad 
it's good" variety. Come to think of it, so are the scenes 
where Mundae's in the hospital.
     While Anouska tells her story about stalking young women,
Mundae recovers and goes all Lon Chaney Jr. on LaRocca,
leading us to an explosive finale.
     Given what little she has to work with in "Erotic 
Werewolf," Mundae does O.K. as far as acting goes. But
judging by a trailer on this disc for Shock-O-Rama's 
"Chantal," she's got more to offer. She's really good at black 
humor, using humor or facial movements in reaction to the 
macabre and the strange. I'd like to know what her best
acting performance was. 
     Since 1998, she starred in over 60 productions -- with 
titles like "Witchbabe: The Erotic Witch Project 3 (2001)"
and potential classics like "Duck! The Carbine High 
Massacre (2000)" in which she played "Bible Girl."
She's also a writer, director, producer and composer. 
     While checking her profile on IMDB, I noticed she 
starred in a "Masters of Horror" episode, "Sick Girl,"
directed by Lucky McGee. I thought that one was pretty good.
In it, she went by "Erin Brown." She played a character 
named "Misty (I wonder if that's a homage)." And she 
starred opposite Angela Bettis, and both gave pretty decent 
performances. 
     Born in 1979 in Illinois, Mundae's real name is Erin 
DeWright, according to the site.
     Now and then, I clicked over to the commentary track.
Hellfire and Producer Michael Raso share some interesting
production stories, including one about a biker bar in Clifton,
N.J. where they shot the opening scene. 
    During a scene in the hospital, where Mundae is getting it
on with some nurse, Hellfire says one of his inspirations for
the film came from things he learned from a "dime-store book on 
 psycho-sexual disorders." This is pretty interesting.
     "One is Lycanthropy. There's this story about this woman
and how she would walk upright on her toes and masturbate
constantly and everything. And I incorporated that into the idea
of what a werewolf might be, a cross between a psychological
disorder and our fairy-tale of sprouting fur and fangs," 
Hellfire said.
     Serious fans of this film NEED that book. Guess you can
contact Hellfire for the title.
    Also on Disc 1 is an interview with LaRocca. This is
priceless. She talks about how she got into the porn
business. Believe it or not, all she did was go to a Chiller
Theatre con and hook up with Hellfire and Mundae. Talk
about a Cinderella story.
     At this point, I'd like to mention the8-page, full-color 
booklet, "Lesbian Lycanthropes on the Loose." It includes a 
pretty thorough history of the film by Ed Grant, Media 
Funhouse host and historian. Also here are two alternative
posters for the film, which just aren't as good as the one on
the DVD cover by Vince Evans.
     Disc 2 features a short film called "Night of the Groping 
Dead," a lot of hand-held nonsense. LaRocca goes to a 
laundromat and gets turned on while watching her clothes 
spin in the washer. Eventually a zombie comes around 
and tries to make an impression on her with a broom 
handle. From there on, it gets really weird. For 
LaRocca completists only.
    Also on this disc is Misty's Trailer Valut, which features
11 previews, including her 2003 remake of a 1968 X-rated
movie called "Lustful Addiction," which she penned and
directed.
