Fury of the Wolf Man (1972)

If you want some fun, eurocamp, misogynistic horror with mad scientists, werewolves and cute Spanish babes who say, "I would die for you," then you've come to the right place. If you want good dialogue, good editing, decent pacing, and cute Spanish babes who say, "Look at my fulsome funbags," then you've come to the wrong place.

The convoluted plot concerns a college professor who went on expedition to Tibet and returned to find himself a werewolf, his wife a cheating little slut, one of his students trying to murder him, and his ex-girlfriend conducting experiments using "chemitrodes" that allow her to control certain brain functions in her subjects. How does it all add up? Up to Castle Wolfstein! (Not to be confused with the much more urbane Wolfenstein.)

Castle Wolfstein is the mad scientist's fortress, where hordes of heartless female scientists conduct fiendish experiments on the brains of captive men, animals, and plants with the hopes of dominating man. Paul Naschy ends up there with a cute Spanish girl and boy does it make him mad, you might even say furious.

This all culminates in some triumphant group raping, murdering, sword-fighting, door-busting, and werewolf on zombie-werewolf action!

Holy lord, could Paul Naschy write an insane script, or what? He totally forgot to care about little things like not introducing characters out of the woodwork in the process, as well as good dialogue. Characters say dreadfully stupid things and all love is expressed with the phrase, "I would die for you." And when they characters are not saying stupid things, they're delivering exposition or spewing out heavy-handed themes, like, "This is wrong, this is not science, this cannot be science!"

Women are, for the most part, evil, unfaithful bitches in this film. There's one exception so extreme, I'm led to believe Naschy's must have had a cheating girlfriend at one point and decided, "Evil mind-control was behind it; no free-willed woman would cheat on me." Except he thought that in Spanish.

Recommended to lovers of somewhat inept but totally insane camp. Also to any misogynists who suspect women are sneaky, manipulative, and evil. But beware: there are a few boring patches involving a reporter and a detective.
