Werewolf Woman (also known as La lupa mannara) is an Italian horror movie released in 1976, directed by Rino Di Silvestro.
The movie follows the story of Daniela Neseri, a young woman who suffers from a rare genetic condition that makes her believe she is a werewolf. She lives with her abusive and controlling brother in a secluded farmhouse and frequently experiences vivid dreams of transforming into a wolf-like creature.
Daniela's brother keeps her confined and isolated, but she eventually escapes and begins to prowl the countryside, searching for men to satisfy her carnal desires. After seducing them, she transforms into her werewolf form and gruesomely kills them.
One day, Daniela meets a kind and sympathetic man named Sergio, who shows her love and compassion. They fall in love and get married, but tragedy strikes when Daniela is brutally raped by a gang of men who then murder Sergio.
Devastated and consumed by grief and anger, Daniela becomes more savage and blood-thirsty than ever. Driven by revenge, she sets out to track down and kill the men responsible for her husband's death.
Werewolf Woman is a graphic and disturbing film that explores themes of sexuality, violence, and mental illness. It's not for the faint of heart, but it has gained a cult following over the years due to its unique blend of sexploitation and horror elements.
