Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

trashgang If you take Deer Woman seriously then you will have some problems with it but if you just watch it with a kind of humour then you will love this. The reason is simple, the killer, in fact a deer woman can't exist and secondly John Landis, the director, added some funny dreams in it when Detective Dwight Faraday (Brian Benben) is thinking in his mind what could have happened with the trucker. It surely had some funny situations but not only that, when Faraday is explaining everything to his boss he even refers to something that happened in London in 1981 with a wolf thing, guess what that was about, An American Werewolf In London (1981) made by Landis. Never been really nasty or gory it still works due the myth about the deer woman (Cinthia Moura) killing innocent men. Cinthia does not speak in this flick, in fact it was her only on-screen appearance once ranked #68 on the 2006 edition of Maxim's Hot 1. And she shows why revealing her juggs a few time in close-up.A funny episode that works on all parts.Gore 1/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 1/5

MARIO GAUCI This is easily one of the best MOH entries I've watched thus far, and definitely the most entertaining. I missed out on Landis' second horror outing – INNOCENT BLOOD (1992) – so I was relieved to note that he has lost none of his talent in this field (to say nothing of his uncanny ability to mix chills and gore with broad humor) in the years since AN American WEREWOLF IN London (1981); by the way, there's a brilliantly funny reference to that landmark film here. As can be guessed from the title, what we have in this episode is a half-woman half-deer who seduces and then brutally murders her prey (actually reminiscent of "Carpathian Eagle", one of the more successful entries in the HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR [1980] TV series). Of course, nobody at first can make the connection between the presence of both a sensual native American girl (one minor gripe I have with this is the fact that everybody seems to fall for her obvious charms without once questioning her inability to speak, unless we're to believe the victims are all lechers) and a deer-apparently-gone-berserk at the scene of each crime!; the single funniest sequence is the hero having multiple (and wildly divergent) visions of the first murder – culminating in a bit where a deer, clothed and walking upright, makes off with a girl into the woods! Running hand in hand with the investigation is his story – a disgraced cop forced to deal with cases of animal aggression slowly regaining his integrity and faith in the job. Ironically, since he'd been demoted after having accidentally shot his own partner, it's only after his new assistant succumbs himself to the titular creature that he's able to bring her to book. Wisely, Landis leaves his comic baggage behind for the intense (if somewhat abrupt) finale – though coming in again at the very end as the hero realizes that he won't be able to satisfactorily explain the mystery to his superiors, so that it's back to 'harmless' animals for him from there on in

Michael_Elliott 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.

gavin6942 A trucker is killed in his semi by what appears to be a large deer, and a detective from the animal attacks division (Anthony Griffith) is left to investigate. Is the killer human, animal or something else? I really enjoyed this movie a lot. After seeing the thirteen movies from the first season of "Masters of Horror", let me say this proudly: "Deer Woman" is one of my favorites. I enjoyed a few of the others quite a bit (particularly "Jenifer", "Incident" and "Dreams in the Witch House")... but this one ranks right up at the top.John Landis gave us a movie that is more comedy than horror, but the kind of comedy a horror fan can appreciate. He even found a way to reference his classic "American Werewolf in London" (another bizarre animal attack). Way to go tying the mythology together, John.The deer jokes and imagery were very nice. I live in Wisconsin and I have seen my fair share of deer, so you would think that deer would bore me. Usually they do. But Steve the Deer telling the wigwam joke? Classic. The attack of the Flannel Deerman? I nearly shot Diet Coke out my nose. The scene where Anthony Griffith's character is thinking up different scenarios to explain the murder is the highlight of the film, though the actress from these sequences needs an upper lip.Dana the medical examiner (or whatever she was) was very sexy, with haunting eyes. More than Cynthia Moura, who is actually Brazilian and not Native American at all.You have some mutilated bodies and blood, and a description of a mangled body part that left me hurting for a few minutes. Overall, the gore is minimal, though... but what it lacks in gore it makes up for with great writing. Don't let the cover or Indian mythology scare you off. I know Indian myths sound pretty stupid, but this time we got something a little better than "Pet Sematery".The audio commentary features only Brian Benben and Anthony Griffith, so the bulk of the talking is about height differences and the film "Mandingo". The insight that John Landis or Max Landis could have provided is absent (though John does have interview segments on the DVD).
