Leave your thoughts about Wolfen.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat is perhaps most interesting about Wolfen is that the story remains plausible given its basic assumptions, of course. This is not sci-fi, fantasy or violent escapism. It's a provoking speculation on the terms by which we share this earth with other creatures. |
| Stream on DemandSean AxmakerThe werewolf movie was revived and reworked with a vengeance in 1981 and Wolfen (1981) was a far more radical take on the genre than An American Werewolf in London or The Howling, though not as popular as either. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzI found it easy to root for the werewolves over the derelicts, millionaires, and arrogant police who were victimized. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerSome sort of mixed-up commentary on gentrification. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyWolfen is so good-looking that one tends to ignore a certain but very real inner vacuity. |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersWolfen goes through the paces of a typical detective thriller, but I'll bet you've never seen anything like it. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyThe often muddled, but scary Wolfen tops The Howling and An American Werewolf in London as the best of 1981's three worthwhile lupine thrillers. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatWolfen is a thriller with a metaphysical side to it. |
| User ReviewMathew GAdmittedly, by comparrison the book is better than the film Wolfen, but because of Albert Finney´s performance I do like the film too. The book explains more about the wolfen, gives them a more human countenance and history. The film however, is very good indeed, particularly due to Finney, James Horner´s music and the coloured negative outlook of the wolfen´s view of the world. It also has a good story as it´s basis, so you want to find out more. Also, unlike today´s batch of horror movies, it is not overlaid with gretuitous amounts of gore, so it´s watchable with intelligence. New York is depicted well and at a time when for many cities all over the world, urban renewal hadn´t taken effect. Consequently, you get lovely rundown areas, perfect for making a worth horror movie in. One definitely to see if you haven´t done so already. |
| User ReviewDavid FAn awesome flick. A horror flick with a message. |
