Spirit of the Night

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.

Quite similar to some of the more horror based Full Moon pictures, this is quite atmospheric and focuses on Tara vising North Wales for her father's funeral and being overwhelmed by a strange sexual awakening (even stuffed animal heads seem to get her excited). Big City Releasing (Independent distribution comapny) are main producers here but Full Moon's scent is rife (the story was originally planned for a 1980's Empire release). Beautifully filmed, humorously acted. Soft core actress Jenna Bodner makes her debut as Tara and is watchable but relatively plain looking. Great music from Fuzzbee Morse (Full Moon composer of Dolls and Dark Angel amongst others). Director Manos did a few jobs at Full Moon (including editing on Dark Angel and directing Josh Kirby 4) and did a few years at Playboy editing their 'documentaries'. This film is slow paced - the sex scenes are okay but merely add to the length of the film. Odd mixture of fascinating old fashioned horror and sex flick, this is always entertaining but never as good as it could be. The ending is ridiculously abrupt, think short tapes were got as a 'job lot'. Fine.

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

Huntress: Spirit of the Night is an erotic horror film directed by Mark Manos.

An architect discovers the animal inside her after she falls prey to an ancient curse on a visit to her Welsh homeland.

This film can easily be called as soft core porn film instead of a horror film as this has very limited to almost none horror scenes. The film has no suspense, no gore and no violence. The film ends abruptly without making any sense. Watch only if you like soft-core films as this film has nothing to offer on horror part.
