Steven Weber wrote & starred in this eppy of of MOH & if you ask me, he should have stuck to acting. Dario Argento's direction here seems to be focused on gross-out shock moments & not providing us with a coherent narrative. I read on IMDb that this is based on a horror comic from the 70s, and it shows. The story opens with 2 cops eating Chinese food in a car under a bridge. One (Weber) steps out to relieve himself & spots a man with a cleaver dragging a bound woman down by the water. Just as the man is about to chop this woman up, Weber calls out for him to stop. The man replies, "you don't know what she is" and is about to return to his task when Weber shoots him. Turns out this woman (the eponymous Jenifer) has a gorgeous body but a terribly deformed face & animalistic tendencies, and the system throws her into an asylum. Our "hero" feels bad for her so he takes her home. His wife & stepson leave him when they discover Jenifer eating the family cat in the bathroom. Jenifer goes on to dismember & eat at least 3 more ppl by the time this hour is over, yet no one asks any questions. It seems not to bother Weber's character that this ugly woman is a murderous cannibal, since she's got a "nice rack" & likes to have lots & lots of sex with him (she's always on top, naturally). The end of this story is (predictably) the same as the beginning. If all you want is a lot of gore without any redeeming features, this is for you. I'm not familiar with Dario Argento, but after this, I'm not impressed.
