I've been made aware of several movies made recently that have tried in different ways to be like the cheap, trashy drive-in movies that were made in the 70's. Some are campy, some play it straight, but too often, they don't end up being much fun. Werewolf In A Women's Prison didn't have that problem.
You'll find a lot of the typical ingredients that a women-in-prison movie is expected to have. Basically what this story does is add a female werewolf and bring some gore to go with the sleaze. I think part of the reason I enjoyed it is because the characters got me to care about them. The loyalty the women showed each other made me want to root for them. I also liked how far they went with the killing rampages. I'm not a fan of gore, and the effects were not much to look at, but I admired how over-the-top they went, especially in the final sequence. Sometimes a movie doesn't have to do everything well if it is done with enough enthusiasm. This is not a good movie, but it was fun to watch.
