One can only ponder with trepidation the thoughts that went through George Coulouris's mind as he pondered the script of The Woman Eater. Did he think, "From Citizen Kane to this!"? Or was it just another acting job, and a starring role at that, with decent money for about a week's work? Probably the latter, as he was getting a decent amount of work in major movies, and at the time The Woman Eater didn't seem so bad -- horror movies had a level of respectability in England that they lacked in America, and there was plenty of acting to do in the film -- or, at least, a chance to ham it up. In many ways, Coulouris paved the way for serious performers like Michael Gough to achieve stardom in various UK horror productions. And as a movie, The Woman Eater at least had a fairly novel concept -- it was a year in front of the somewhat similiarly plotted (but horrendously executed) Leech Woman from Universal, and it did offer some interesting performers in a plot that was to become much too familiar in the years to follow (most recently emulated in an installment of the series The Lost World).
