The Werewolf (1956)

Sorely Overlooked - But Really Good


This really a good and solid "wolf man" or werewolf film. It's over looked quite a bit and really needs to come back out of the old spooky wood-works. It's a bit different than the traditional Wolf Man story created by Universal Pictures (starring Lon Chaney, Jr) which created the template for all werewolf films to come after. What is different about this one is the fact that the werewolf is created by scientist and not by being bitten by another werewolf. The moon does not have any affect on this wolf man - Duncan Marsh (Steven Ritch). Marsh is about as mild mannered as Larry Talbot and is just as easy to sympathize with but the two stories are quite different.

YES I find this film good and do recommend it to fans of werewolves and wolf men. If you are able to find this one, it is worth watching.

8.5/10
