Review of Huntress: Spirit of the Night (1995 Film):

Huntress: Spirit of the Night (1991) is a movie that’s full of poppycock. What is this woman any way? Is she supposed to be a werewolf, a succubus, Cat-person or some sort of freak with black eyes? I dunno but she hot and takes of her clothes a lot.

If this movie had a theme to it or if they showed more of her “transformations” then it could have been something. But why did the filmmakers cut this movie down to an R-rating? Were they actually trying to market this sleaze to Blockbuster or Hollywood Video? Maybe some questions are better left unanswered, I guess. Not a bad movie to own if you can find it for under $5 bucks and if you like red-heads, if you know what I mean (wink-wink).

I have to give it a C+. It’s not bad or horrible, it’s just bland, They should have went all the way with this movie. I hope they re-release it with the missing footage some day….

I think the director wishes for you to salivate over Bodnar, the story is of little consequence next to her “sexual awakening” as the spirit takes hold, ever so pushing her to embrace the dark side, chambered for so long. As a horror film, it isn’t successful. I think the film uses the sexuality of “Cat People”, while neglecting the violence that derives from being consumed with the aggressive tendencies of the panther to hunt for food. It is mentioned in the film, through newspaper articles of recent attacks and the ever so glum Ty Bodi condemning Tara to leave at once. I cared little about the angle with Michelle and Alek..although, Valk is incredibly sexy and has a very memorable disrobing before crawling on all fours on top of a piano. Unfortunately, though, her threesome with Tara and Alek is uninspired which is a shame since all are attractive. See it for Bodnar, she doesn’t disappoint. She even turned me on moving her tongue down a butcher knife in a fantasy sequence. Executively produced by Charles Band(..my DVD carries his Full Moon label)and filmed on stunning, richly lush Romanian locations..there’s an enchanting nature this location gives off that seems just right for an erotic fantasy.
