DVD : An Erotic Werewolf in London [2007] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

Rating: - Misty the Hot Werewolf and Ruby the Zombie Punkette
Although its title would imply that this is another of Seduction Cinema's sexy spoofs, `An Erotic Werewolf in London' is, for the most part, a straight forward softcore skinfest with lycanthropic eroticism added to the Sapphic couplings. The erotic content is pretty good with Misty Mundae looking stunning throughout. The other main players are Ruby LaRocca and Anoushka, both of whom are excellent in this movie. But Seduction Cinema aficionados be warned: the sex scenes between Anoushka and Ruby have been lifted from `The Erotic Diary of Misty Mundae'. It's true that these scenes happen to fit in with the `Werewolf' movie quite well, but it's disappointing that some previously unused footage could not have been found.

The action begins with Misty and Ruby in the bar that they run. Having closed for the night, the ladies are feeling frisky and get straight down to naked business on the counter. Anoushka arrives as the ladies are having a nightcap. Misty is clearly smitten by the newcomer and invites her into the backroom where more yumminess follows. Anoushka is a werewolf, her transformation occurring at the point of climax: a smidgen of additional body hair, extra long fingernails and large teeth, all the better to bite Misty with. And we all know what happens to those who survive being bitten by a werewolf, don't we?

So what's all this got to do with London? Not a lot. Yes, there are some scenes in London and we get to see the usual landmarks: Houses of Parliament, red telephone box (not many of those left nowadays, though) and the entrance to a London Underground station. Reluctant reporter from `The Daily Limey', Zoe Moonshine, is dispatched to get the scoop on the werewolf woman whose home is in England's capital city.

The cast is almost all female. The only exceptions are John Link who plays Zoe's editor(!) and Jeff Shields who plays Misty's doctor. There are cameos from Darian Caine and Julian Wells as Misty's nurses. Their intimate ministrations naturally bring out the beast in Misty. If you'd like to see Darian in another werewolf movie, you may like to check out the slightly dodgy Curse of the Wolf [2007] (REGION 1) (NTSC)'.

`An Erotic Werewolf in London' is a decent softcore erotic movie. Some may be disappointed at the relative lack of werewolf activity, but the sex scenes are well performed and very nice to look at, and they're a little stronger than those contained in Seduction's recent releases. Misty, Ruby and Anoushka are wonderful in this movie. Unfortunately, Zoe Moonshine keeps her clothes on throughout, but for those who'd like to see more of this lovely lady, check out `The Devil's Bloody Playthings', `Les Chic' and Bikini Girls on Dinosaur Planet/Bikini Goddesses (REGION 1) (NTSC) all of which, like `An Erotic Werewolf in London', were directed by Bill Hellfire.

There's no behind the scenes documentary on this DVD which is a pity, but listening to Bill Hellfire (writer/director) and Michael Raso's (producer) audio commentary is interesting as they talk about the film's long road to DVD release (it began filming in 2001). There's a featurette called `Reminiscing With Ruby' in which the wonderful Ruby LaRocca talks about her films for Seduction and Factory 2000. "I've never regretted anything I've done. I had so much fun making those movies, why would I be ashamed of any of that?" she asks. She also points out that she would not have got any of the parts in horror movies outside of the Seduction Cinema fold (such as `Flesh For the Beast' and `Shadow: Dead Riot') if she hadn't appeared in films such as `Dr. Jekyll and Mistress Hyde'. On the audio commentary, Michael Raso talks about a Seduction Cinema actress whose feelings are apparently somewhat different to Ruby's.

Fans of Ruby LaRocca will be delighted to know that she has a major role in the film on the second DVD in this set: `Night of the Groping Dead'. In the Laundromat, having loaded the machine, Ruby decides to pass the time by having some "alone fun" after which, topless, she falls prettily asleep on a table. Then, wouldn't you know it, a zombie enters the premises. On seeing the charming Ruby, the zombie begins to grope her. Ruby is groped a lot in this movie, she's naked a good deal of the time and she's covered in blood a lot too, much of it spewing from her mouth and over her breasts. Now ensconced as Queen of the Zombies, Ruby desires a mate and who better to fulfil that role than Misty Mundae?

`Night of the Groping Dead' is something of a sleazy delight. Ruby is superb in this film. A lot of attention is lavished on her with the groping scenes particularly strong for a softcore movie and, as usual, the sex scenes between Ruby and Misty are lovely.

Seduction Cinema have produced a good package with this release. Fans of Misty Mundae and Ruby LaRocca will definitely want to add it to their collections.
