Spirit of the Night

A woman inherits her father's estate in Northern Wales, which is cursed. Eventually she succumbs to the curse, which transforms her into a black panther. The creature is never seen on screen. The acting and atmospherics were superb.

The Beast Inside Her (1995) is currently available on Tubi. The storyline follows a successful business woman who inherits an old family estate. Shortly after arriving at the home she also inherits an old family curse, the curse of the werewolf.

This movie is directed by Mark Manos (Liquid Dreams) and stars Mihaela Mihut (Selfie 69), Jenna Bodnar (Descendant), Charles Cooper (Blind Fury) and Michael Wiseman (Planet of the Apes).

This is not a horror movie, it's soft porn with horror references. The term they use on IMDb is "horror erotica." Well, I'd call it "horror badica." Yes, there's plenty of worthwhile nudity throughout the movie, but the horror elements are limited and the gore is non-existent. There definitely should have been more kills and emphasis on the horror elements. Even the werewolf concept was weak. Overall I'd score this a 2/10 and strongly recommend skipping it.

One of those Gothic Romances Full Moon made in 90's, like Meridian - Kiss of the Beast. Shot in Romania, it looks gorgeous - autumnal scenery, Gothic castles with flowers, lace curtains, old books in vitrine, etc. Red haired heroine looks pretty good, too, especially in her later, vintage looks. The plot has lot of promise, with the warnings, Torches and Pitchforks searching the Beast, all played entertainingly straight. There is no gore, quite a bit of nudity. Acting, staging and Welsh accents are often clumsy, too much time is wasted in soft core, and the ending is terrible - the story just ends! So... a mixed bag.

Huntress: Spirit of the Night (1991) is a movie that's full of poppycock. What is this woman any way? Is she supposed to be a werewolf, a succubus, Cat-person or some sort of freak with black eyes? I dunno but she hot and takes of her clothes a lot.

If this movie had a theme to it or if they showed more of her "transformations" then it could have been something. But why did the filmmakers cut this movie down to an R-rating? Were they actually trying to market this sleaze to Blockbuster or Hollywood Video? Maybe some questions are better left unanswered, I guess. Not a bad movie to own if you can find it for under $5 bucks and if you like red-heads, if you know what I mean (wink-wink).

I have to give it a C+. It's not bad or horrible, it's just bland, They should have went all the way with this movie. I hope they re-release it with the missing footage some day....

Some day...

This film borrows heavily from "Cat People"; although here the lower production values actually add something to a guilty post-midnight-viewing pleasure.
