Movie Reviews

Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonA literate and respectful addition to the lycanthrope canon, generating enormous sympathy for its characters and even taking digs at the abuses heaped upon the working class by the 1%.
ESplatter - 6/10 by Steve BiodrowskiLon Chaney, Jr.'s Wolf Man may be cinema's most famous lycanthrope, but there can be little doubt that this 1960 film from Hammer Productions is the best werewolf movie ever made.
Alternate Ending - 5/10 by Tim BraytonThe last 43 minutes of The Curse of the Werewolf are pretty damn good. The question is how much better they are than the 50 preceding minutes are a tedious grind.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UAnother masterpiece from horror's most uner valued director: Terence Fisher. Lycanthropy is equated with original sin.
User Review - 10/10 by Kevin BThis is possibly the best werewolf film ever made. It really fleshes out the lead character's journey since his birth all the way through his short life. I like d the idea of his mom being raped and giving birth to him on christmas eve, thus cursing him to a tortured life. Even today the movie's make up is astounding, and it was wise of director Terrence Fisher not to show the beast until the end of the movie. It is also still somewhat frightening.
User Review - 10/10 by Shadow LI saw this movie at a film festival. This movie is truly a classic. I also love this film because it was made by Hammer Studios
User Review - 10/10 by L JHammer's only entry into the world of the lycanthrope (until the Hammer House Of Horror TV-series episode 'Children Of The Full Moon' ...some 19 years later!). Ollie Reed was quite a handsome, dashing-looking fellow in his youth and his intense acting style suits the role of the doomed Leon perfectly; he also makes a pretty damn good werewolf. Anthony Dawson is memorably grotesque as the Marques in the early scenes, especially as an old man; Richard Wordsworth is excellent as the feral beggar who eventually violates Yvonne Romain's mute servant girl (offscreen, thankfully), who then gives birth to a child so feral he has hairy palms, fangs and a propensity for killing livestock late at night! The GREAT Michael Ripper appears as a drunken villager (unusually) who has SEEN the wolf (nobody believes him, of course - the fools!) and later has to share a prison-cell with him! Another winner from Bray Studios.

User Review - 10/10 by Tori DIt feels like a haunting fairy tale; spanning an age in Spain and the web of lives that conveniently come together and evolve as an excellent werewolf story.
User Review - 10/10 by Chris Swhen it comes to gothic horror, Hammer studios never disipoints. Their films are outstanding and got away with sexuality and violence. Director Terence Fisher does a fantastic job rebooting and utalizing the werewolf myth, much like Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mummy. The movie has a dark and forboading atmosphere and the werewolf effects and design is pretty outstanding. One of my favorite Hammer films, but also one of my favorite werewolf films.
