User Review - 8/10 by Chris WA surprisingly good werewolf movie. A must-see.
User Review - 6/10 by Oscar HMade for TV werewolf movie. Nothing spectacular but entertaining.
User Review - 6/10 by Steve MMoon of the Wolf Starring: David Janssen, Barbara Rush, Bradford Dillman, and Geoffrey Lewis Director: Daniel Petrie A small Louisanna town is terrorized by a string of brutal, savage murders. Sheriff Whitaker (Janssen) gradually comes to the realization that the murderer isn't quite human, and the trail leads to the front door of the town's leading citizens, Louise and Andrew Rodanthe (Rush and Dillman). But can such a thing as a werewolf really exist? "Moon of the Wolf" is a pretty straight-forward werewolf movie, complete with the skeptic initially saying "there isn't such a thing as werewolves", the fortune teller who sees doom for the next victims, the wealthy family with a history of strange illnesses, and a list of possible candidates for who the werewolf might be, thus lending a "who-dunnit" aspect to the film until the creature is revealed. Given that this was a made-for-TV movie that dates from the 1970s, it perhaps goes without saying that the werewolf (when is finally revealed) is in a less than impressive costume--but at least the director seemed to have realized this, and he tries to dwell on it as little of as he can, and he doesn't foolishly attempt any on-screen transformations that his budget doesn't allow for. So, the somewhat underwhelming werewolf doesn't harm the movie any. Where this film does stand out, however, is that it doesn't take the usual movie route and portray the smalltown Southerners as a bunch of moronic bigots, nor are the wealthy people shown as explotive racists. Instead, it shows a community where everyone works together... and interracial relationships happen and are accepted. In other words, the film gives a truer portrayal of a small town in the late 20th century than most movies bother to give us. And that keeps the movie in the "Fresh" category. The film also offers an interesting little tidbit: Lycanthropy can apparently be controlled with the right sort of medication, if taken in the right, timely doses. This is a small (but crucial) part of the plot, and it's the one semi-original thing that the movie brought to the table. "Moon of the Wolf" has a solid cast that give good performances, and a decent script that brings a couple of minor variations to what we're used to from this sort of movie. I believe lovers or werewolf films will probably enjoy it, but it's not a "must-see."

User Review - 6/10 by Rick LNot bsad for a made for television flick.
User Review - 6/10 by Bruce BI found this one in Mill Crrek 50 Drive-In Movie Classics Movie Pack. Do be scare to buy these Mill Creek 50 packs, as I have found the film quality to be good on most movies. A Good Film in 1972 that doesn't get more then 3 stars. A relatively routine werewolf tale. Made for TV, back in 1972 so expect no real blood or gore, A Midnite to 4 am TV filler on Saturday Night.Now know what happen to David Janssen after the The Fugitive, General Hospital's John Beradino stars as a Doctor in this small town. Only Hardcore Werewolf Fans will enjoy this.
User Review - 6/10 by Daniel QI thought this 1972 made for TV movie was pretty decent. The acting was actually pretty good and the dialogue was not that cheesy. Somehow this werewolf movie plays more like a murder mystery then a horror/suspense. The whole werewolf story seems to be a subplot, which is pretty disappointing. The movie plays out like an episode of Scooby Doo, in which you have X amount of characters and you need to figure out who the monster is. In this aspect, the movie did have me guessing, every time I thought I had it figured out, I was wrong. The run time is perfect and the movie never over stays it's welcome. Overall for a made for TV movie that is now bordering 40 years old, it's actually watchable, and decently entertaining.
User Review - 6/10 by Craig MI found it interesting and it felt very believable, the accents and settings felt real. It's not scary or tense, but by the time you get to the werewolf transformation it get's very B movie and corny. It was fun enough for a TV movie.
User Review - 4/10 by Justin LMarsh Island, a small Louisiana bayou town, is plagued by mysterious mutilation murders committed whenever there's a full moon. They're blamed on rabid dogs, but local good ole boy Sheriff Aaron Whitaker (David Janssen) thinks otherwise. He investigates the crimes, while getting romantically involved with a wealthy chatterbox named Louise (Barbara Rush), who is from "The First Family of Louisiana" and has just moved back into the family mansion with her overly-protective brother Andrew (Bradford Dillman). Hmmm. As the bodies start to pile up and it is determined that whoever is committing the crimes is strong enough to tear iron bars out of cement to murder someone else in a jail cell, the authorities are lead to believe that the culprit is not entirely human. Couldn't be a werewolf, could it? The backwoods country folk include Tom (Royal Dano), a senile old coot who rants about the dreaded "lugaloo" and Lawrence (Geoffrey Lewis), the grumpy chief murder suspect whose brother was one of the victims. Super-tame made-for-TV effort; so tame that it takes an entire hour until we get our first on-screen murder scene? which the camera cuts away from at the last minute. Even more elusive than the blood-n-gore is the monster, who is not seen until the very end. When it finally does show up, you see why it took so long; the minimal make-up (designed by Tom and William Tuttle) is pretty awful. Thankfully, Janssen makes an engaging lead and makes it bearable. Based on the novel by Leslie H. Whitton.
User Review - 4/10 by Private UWithin the first 5 minutes an old farmer with a shotgun finds a dead naked girl and says "Now that those dogs have tasted blood there's no stopping them! We need to get everyone off the island!" It kind of goes downhill from there.
