Since she was raped as a child, Daniella (Annik Borel) can't have a normal
sexual relationship, so when she finds documents about one of her ancestors
having been a werewolf, & a photograph of that ancestor that remarkably
resembles Daniella, she is plagued by nightmares about being a werewolf
herself.
& when her sister Elena (Dagmar Lassander) comes to visit her & her
father (Tino Carraro), Daniella, one full moon night first starts to seduce
Elena's husband Fabian (Andrea Scotti), then bites him to death & hurls him
off a nearby cliff ... & she isn't even convicted for the murder (the
police think it was dogs), but due to the shock sent to a sanitarium. There
though she suffers from repeated fits of rage so after a time she is tied to
her bed ... & proves to be easy pray for her nymphomaniac lesbian roommate
... until Daniella is able to get her hands on a knife (on a full moon night of
course) & stabs her roommate to death, then escapes the sanitarium & -
at her getaway - kills on eof the sanitarium's doctors too in a carcrash.
Soon she feels compelled to kill every time she is sexually aroused (as long
as it's full moon), so she bites to death a woman she has just spied on having
sex, & even a hitchhiker she first seduces.
With all the killings, police detective Monica (Frederick Stafford) first is
baffled, but then comes up with a wild werewolf theory which he soon ties to
Daniella, & the death of Fabian now also neatly fits in. Daniella however
cannot be found ...
Going hitchhiking once more, she is picked up by stuntman Luca, who doesn't
try to get her laid though but still gives her a place to sleep, & after a
while she starts to trust him, they start a normal sexual relationship, &
the next full moon night she notices she doesn't even have the urge to kill
anymore ... & it would seem she is cured ... until three thugs break into
Luca's house while he's away, rape her & brutally kill Luca upon returning
... none of the three though lives to see the next day, as Daniella soon kills
2 of them at a scrapyard, & burns the third alive in his own house. Then
she seems to disappear from the face of the earth, until detective Monica
figures she has to hide out in the same woods her ancestor was killed ages ago
... & there he & the police force find her, reverted to a more
primitive state of mind, trying to defend herself against the heavily armed
policemen with nothing but a torch. Of course she soon is dragged off to the
next loonie bin.
A very trashy & sleazy film, that nevertheless has a thought through,
almost intelligent screenplay, which relates Daniella's sexual fears &
repressions to imagined lycanthropy (safe from a dreamsequence she never
actually transforms into a wolf). This doesn't necessarily make the film a good
movie of course, but a somehow interesting & - on a sleazy level -
enjoyable little romp.
