WEREWOLF BITCHES FROM OUTER SPACE

Cinemavixion Review

Dylan Mars Greenberg and Reverend Jen Miller's "Werewolf Bitches from Outer Space" is a deliberately B-movie romp that channels a punk-rock spirit into its tale of extraterrestrial lycanthropes. The film posits three werewolf women from Uranus arriving on Earth with a mission to cleanse New York City of its most undesirable elements: sexists, bullies, and corporate stooges. This premise allows for a chaotic and often satirical exploration of urban decay and societal ills, filtered through a lens of low-budget, high-energy filmmaking. The narrative, while thin, provides ample room for a host of eccentric characters to interact. The titular werewolves find unlikely allies in a cast of New Yorkers that includes bumbling police officers Fremulum and Hymen, a teenage girl named Candy (played by Rachel Trachtenburg), and a perpetually inebriated individual. Their collective fight against the city's 'evils' is less about coherent storytelling and more about embracing the absurdity of the situation. The inclusion of clueless art critics, played by Janeane Garofalo and Dave Hill, adds a meta-commentary layer that some viewers may find amusing. While the film's IMDb rating of 3.0 suggests a critical reception leaning towards the negative, its cult appeal likely lies in its unpretentious, DIY ethos. "Werewolf Bitches from Outer Space" doesn't aim for mainstream polish; instead, it offers a unique, if rough-around-the-edges, cinematic experience for those who appreciate unconventional genre fare and a healthy dose of camp. It's a film that wears its influences on its sleeve, delivering a narrative that is as wild and untamed as its protagonists.
