Werewolf Woman (1976)

Werewolf Woman PosterDespite the movie’s title, director and co-writer Rino Di Silvestro doesn’t seem to realize what his movie is supposed to be about, employing an ineffective kitchen sink approach that sees him mix a variety of elements with little apparent reason including reincarnation, lycanthropy, pseudo-scientific psycho-babble, horny Italians, and revenge drama.

RollerBladeCoverSurprisingly, Roller Blade is not the first post-apocalyptic roller skating movie. Skatetown, U.S.A. and Roller Boogie both preceded it by a decade. And if you don’t think either of those films qualifies as post-apocalyptic, I don’t know what else you’d call one movie starring Linda Blair from the director of Truck Stop Women and another featuring (deep breath!) Patrick Swayze, Flip Wilson, Ruth Buzzi, Horshack, Marcia Brady, Scott Baio, and some chick from Little House On The Prairie! Continue reading “Roller Blade (1986)”
