Deer Woman (2005)
**** (out of 4)
John Landis directed episode in the Masters of Horror series is certainly the best I've seen so far. A police detective (Brian Benben) is investigating a series of brutal murders where the men have been aroused at the time of their death. With the help of another officer, the detective begins to think that this is the work of a half deer, half woman. Landis really hasn't touched the horror genre much in his career but when he does the film usually turns out to be quite memorable. This is a terrific little horror film that has the right mixture of nudity, gore and some nice comic touches. The homage to An American Werewolf in London was nice and the performances are all top notch. The film is never too serious, which is why it works so well.
