John Landis, famed director of "An American Werewolf In London" (1981) delivers more satirical Horror about animal-people with his first entry to the "Masters Of Horror" series. Only that this time, it is not Werewolf but a Native American Deer-Woman who terrorizes the area. A run-down homicide detective (Brian Benben) believes that the person behind a mysterious murder-series is none other than a figure from Native American mythology: A deer-like creature in form of a beautiful woman. "Deer Woman" is witty, highly entertaining and doubtlessly the sexiest episode in the series, but even though I liked it a lot I cannot give it a higher rating than 6/10, simply because I like my Horror to be scary, which this simply isn't. This is not to say that this isn't a must-see for my fellow fans of the series though. "Deer Woman" has a nice atmosphere, an original screenplay which funnily references Landis' earlier work, "The Blues Brothers" (1980) and "An American Werewolf In London" (1981). Brian Benben and Anthony Griffith are also good in their roles of the investigating police. The most convincing quality of "Deer Woman" however, is the eponymous lady herself - the sexy Deer Woman played by the stunningly beautiful Cinthia Moura. The female cast members of MoH episodes generally tend to be hot, but this lady easily outshines all others. Moura is incredibly sexy and also very good in her role of the "Deer Woman". Sadly enough, this Brazilian beauty has not yet starred in anything else, but I sure hope that this will change.
