Wolfen (1981)

Great Werewolf Film


Wolfen is not your average run-of-the-mill werewolf film. This one deals with Native American Shapeshifters - spirits if you will. There are quite a few stories and legends of them floating around in our society and this touches on that. This one is unlike any other werewolf film I have ever seen.

Note: I *think* in the Twilight Saga that Jacob Black is based on these Native American legends and tales but Wolfen (book and the film) came out well before Twilight. And Wolfen is a far superior story than the werewolves of Twilight.

Wolfen is a bit bloody but it's not mindless killings with lots of blood and gore... this film actually has a story - a good story to tell its viewers. Well worth watching.

9/10
