I love MOON OF THE WOLF! A great old fashioned-style monster movie, IMO. David Jansen, Bradford Dillman, and Barbara Rush are the stars. ********************SOILERS********************************* SCREAM OF THE WOLF is the other early 70's "wolf" movi...

Dog Soldiers is one of my favorites. I saw it first after some of the other girls and I stopped for some cold ones after work. The dive we frequented back then (it was actually a car wash with a small attached bar, with room for about 20 people) was showi...

COMPANY OF WOLVES is a good one. I confess that I forgot it! DOG SOLDIERS was pretty fun, sort of like ALIENS meets NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD meets THE HOWLING! That was one of the most entertaining horrors of the last decade. WOLFEN is well-acted and pre...

I love COMPANY OF WOLVES, and, while I liked it less than a lot of folk do, DOG SOLDIERS is pretty good.WOLFEN isn't a werewolf film, but I always think of it when the werewolf subject comes up. That's a goodie.

I just rewatched this film last week, having last seen it when I was a kid(my first video I bought from Wal-Mart!) and wished I hadn't. It's fun to see a real WOLF MAN, but the film is slow and not very gripping. There just was no point to the who-done-it...

>Yeah, Bradford Dillman looks bad as a werewolf< I strongly suspect that we have a FMTW case here, and it's only a stunt double under the fur.

Yeah, Bradford Dillman looks bad as a werewolf and I was surprised no one else knew what a loup-garou was. But other than that? There's some good stuff here. I had relatives who lived near Burnside, La, where this tele-movie was filmed. I thought the mov...

I missed this one as a kid and only just recently saw it on one of the Mill Creek DVD collections. I pretty much agree with everything you said, David; it was pretty good movie, but not great. I liked the local feel it has and the acting is pretty go...

It's competent werewolfery, for cheap and quickly shot TV. The cast, esp. Janssen and Dillman, is solid, and Geoffrey Lewis and Royal Dano do colorful work. But the final reveal IS a major disappointment; the wuffman here is like someone's cari...

It's a fairly faithful adaptation of a very good Les Whitten novel of the same name. Whitten also wrote Progeny of the Adder, which would have made a great film, TV or otherwise, but to my knowledge has never been adapted. I liked this quite a bit be...

It's just the oposite with me - I saw as many as I could, and ate up most of the others later on, in syndication. When you see one for the first time later, it's no joke that you can act like some "conniseur." The first time I saw the suspense film "Five ...

I always confuse it with Scream of the Wolf. I think that's the one that takes the fantastic stuff away.

Hated this thing when I saw it first run. I`ve never wanted to see it again.
