When Rino Di Silvestro
died (of cancer) in 2009, exploitation cinema lost one of its greatest
trash filmmakers. He was a writer/director who specialized in extremely
raw, graphic and, (yes, without a doubt) offensive low-budget grindhouse
fare. Mr Di Silvestro claimed to have ghostwritten over 200 screenplays
before breaking into filmmaking as the director for WOMEN
IN CELL BLOCK 7 (1973). He followed that classic women-in-prison
film with the prostitution thriller PROSTITUZIONE.
Over the next few years, he would dabble in all types of trash from Naziploitation
(DEPORTED
WOMEN OF THE SS) to horror. He is best known for this outrageous
motion picture, WEREWOLF WOMAN
When released to the
Drive-Ins and Groundhouse Theatres (in the USA), this film was strapped
with an X rating. So don't expect the standard lycanthropic tale
here. Instead sleaze meistro Di Silvestro delivers a perverse story that
relies less on supernatural and more on insanity-caused-by-sexual-abuse.
Here is the story of a young woman who gets raped and then suffers from
dreams of being a werewolf. Overwhelmed, she goes out to find men, only
to rip out their throats after engaging in sex.
