Wolf Devil Woman begins with a married couple and their infant daughter attempting to escape from a cult led by Red Devil. Surrounded by Red Devil's ninjas, the couple commit suicide, covering their child in their own blood to keep her warm, before starting an avalanche. The ninjas find the bodies of the couple but cannot find the baby. After the ninjas have left, a pack of wolves (unconvincingly played by dogs) arrive on the scene to eat the corpses, with one white wolf uncovering the missing child (still alive) and, instead of eating her, taking her back to the pack's ice cavern.
Twenty years later, Young Master Rudolph (I kid you not) and his assistant Rudy embark on a perilous journey to try and locate a 1000 year old ginseng, the root necessary to defeat the Red Devil's blood freezing spell. While on their travels, they encounter the girl raised by wolves, and befriend her, teaching her how to read and write, and correcting her lousy posture. They give her the silly name of Snow Hibiscus. While explaining the purpose of their travels, they discover that the wolf girl has eaten the 1000 year ginseng, leaving them to return home empty handed.
Once home, Rudolph decides to launch a surprise attack on Red Devil, but is captured and enslaved. Snow Hibiscus rushes to his rescue, leading to a silly showdown in which the good guys are pitted against more ninjas and hopping zombies controlled by voodoo dolls.
Usually, I would enjoy the heck out of any film that features a sexy feral woman dressed as a wolf, teleporting ninjas, a villain sporting a sparkly KKK-style hood with a skull and crossbones motif, hopping zombies, badly animated fire, and even some self-inflicted arterial spray (to douse the aforementioned cartoon fire). With all of this, and more, Wolf Devil Woman sure works hard to appease trash movie fans, but despite all of its craziness, I felt disappointed overall, the dreadful performances, crap editing, and poor direction resulting in a fair amount of tedium. The tone of the whole thing is also very childish, with some particularly terrible comedy: if it wasn't for the occasional decapitation, the gushes of bright red blood and some rather unsettling animal cruelty (rabbits and chickens torn apart), I might have mistaken this for a kid's film.
3/10.
