I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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

"Deer Woman" was okay. I was pleasantly surprised. That especially so after having seen the horrendous "Imprint" right before it. Model Cynthia Moura did a good job as the mysterious Indian deer woman who has hoofs. The director John Landis ("Twilight Zone movie", "American Werewolf in London") makes the most of the subject, by turns making a spoof and also giving us some genuine scares.This is probably one of the slightly better ones to be expected in the series. The only thing that bothered me quite a bit was the storyline kept going in circles when we knew all along that she was the killer. It was very predictable in that regard. It was also the first episode that was shot in the series back in 2007. This is one of the ones from Masters of Horror that should at least be checked out if you are into the series. 6/10.

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.

The Series "Masters of Horror" was not aired in Germany yet, but i found the "Deer Woman"-DVD (already dubbed into German) at www.amazon.de and the story seems weird and interesting (beside, the Deer is my animal totem :-), and after all the werewolf, vampire and zombie-movies that was made in the last 80 years, it was something new: A kind of were-deer...? Okay, the (under normal conditions) shy and gentle deer is not really suitable for becoming a movie-monster, but Landis movie based on an old native American legend. So the story-core of "Deer Woman" was not his own idea. The best point is, that John Landis did not try to made the film too serious, it was in different reviews compared with his "American Werewolf in London" (wich was referenced in "Deer Woman" too), and this is true. It contains a kind of humor of it's own, bizarre dialogs and ideas. The story flows straight forward in the typical plot of a "X-Files" episode. The only disadvantages are in my opinion the weak ending (there is not really a showdown, and we never find out why the Deer Woman kill all the man) and that we not get more info about the Deer Woman and the Deer Woman legend. Searching on the WWW shows, that the version used by John Landis is only one version. Other versions of the legend depicts the Deer Woman not as a killer, but very dangerous for man too: In these stories, a beautiful young woman meets a young man and entrances him into a sexual relationship. The woman is so beautiful that the young man is often swayed by her beauty away from family, home, community. If the young man is so entranced as to not notice the young woman's feet (hooves) then he falls under her spell and stays with her forever, wasting away into depression, despair, prostitution, and ultimately, death. All in all, a well made short movie, not groundbreaking or spectacular, but a fair 7/10.
