Corey Haim (back when he was still cute) and his souped-up hot-rod of a wheelchair are all that stand between a sleepy little New England town and a ferocious full-moon killer in Stephen King's adaptation of his novella Cycle of the Werewolf. This minor entry into the werewolf canon lacks the scares and sense of humor of superior hirsute thrillers The Howling and An American Werewolf in London, but pays off in some nice casting touches. Gary Busey is loyal to the end as Haim's beer-guzzling Uncle Red, Twin Peaks's Everett McGill cuts an unsettling figure as the town minister, and fleshy B-movie icon Lawrence Tierney (Reservoir Dogs) is the gruff bartender who breaks up bar fights with a baseball bat called "The Peacemaker." The monstrous wolf beast, a towering mountain of fangs and fur, is the creation of Carlo Rambaldi (E.T.). --Sean Axmaker

Classic.......2007-05-10

Daniel Attias' film version of Stephen King's classic novel will go down as a timeless horror film classic. Stays close to the book, and any fan of Stephen King's writings will enjoy this movie.

Based on Stephen King novella.......2007-03-11

This is an adaptation of Stephen King's novella, 'Cycle of the Werewolf'. It unfolds like a campfire story about a town terrorized by a werewolf. The only one who gets close to solving the mystery of who the creature is by day is a young boy in a wheelchair. The boy is soon hunted once the werewolf realizes he knows his human identity. The movie is a bit hokey in places, especially since the special effects are not advanced, but the toned down graphics makes it more suitable for younger teens to view. Almost reminds me of a 'Goosebumps' tale.

Silver Bullet.......2007-01-10

This is a kinda funny and scarry movie but it is a fun movie to watch. Even our grandchildren watched it. They laughed sometimes and covered their eyes sometimes but felt like it was just a guy in a holloween costume. It is a fun movie.

WHERE OH WHERE HAS MY WEREWOLF GONE.......2006-11-08

SILVER BULLET is just pure fun, one of those horror movies that relies on atmospheric tension and frightening monsters. The werewolf is pretty scary in this adaptation of Stephen King's novella, CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF. 80s teen star Corey Haim is just fine as a wheelchair-bound young boy who discovers there's a werewolf in their midst---the townsfolk think the murders are the work of a psycho killer, but Corey and his sister Megan Follows convince Uncle Red (a cool Gary Busey) and they set off to find the identity of the werewolf. Everett McGill is fine as the creepy minister, and the whole movie works because it doesn't take itself too seriously and it recognizes that. Truly one of the better treatments of a King work.

The Stephen King Collection, a box set of four films, Graveyard Shift, The Dead Zone, Silver Bullet, and Pet Sematary, is great in that it provides viewers with a full range of King movies, from the truly eerie to the terrible. The set's two finest movies, The Dead Zone, directed by David Cronenberg and starring Christopher Walken, and Pet Sematary--arguably King's finest story adapted to film--both come as Special Collector's Editions, with excellent bonus material, including lengthy interviews with both Stephen King and the directors. Pet Sematary, shot in King's home territory, Maine, tells the story of city slickers Rachel and Louis Creed (Denise Crosby, Dale Midkiff), who move to the country to raise their daughter, Ellen, in peace. They learn that they've relocated onto a trucking thoroughfare, and Ellen consequently loses her pet cat. The plot quickly riffs out into mystical, traumatic territory. Louis's neighbor Jud Crandall takes Louis to ancient Indian burial grounds, where the dead are reanimated. The Creeds's zombie cat sparks this Frankenstein-ian adventure, pitting urban settings against rural, and the horrific against the pastoral. Pet Sematary looks more and more like Hitchcock, thanks to director Mary Lambert's careful attention to detail. The low point in the set is Graveyard Shift, a washed-up story about a cotton factory that's not only infested by carnivorous rats, but also hosts a dragon/pterodactyl. As night-shift employees get continuously munched, Bachman Mills' owner Mr. Warwick is forced to clean up squalid conditions, for which he hires a basement clean-up crew. Crew members are slaughtered as they try to combat their discovered behemoth, and grizzly scenes showing rats, humans, and the beast's head being chewed up in the cotton gin reduce Graveyard Shift to schlock gore. One is reminded of the intricacies involved in adapting books to film. As King has managed to be an integral part of his film projects, there are still successes and failures. All the movies in this set, though, still bear King's trademark, a love for "supernatural deadfall." --Trinie Dalton

Good Collection of King Movies.......2007-03-19

Certainly, my opinion is subjective because I like this sort of fare, silly and all. "Graveyard Shift" is indeed the weakest one, made entertaining by the bad acting of all involved. "Pet Sematary" is also badly acted, though Fred Gwynne is on hand to save much of it. It's one of King's more mean-spirited plots, and if there was humor involved (as the extras purport), I missed most of it. "Silver Bullet" is an odd film, a rather sweet coming-of-age film with a twist. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. (Even Corey Haim was almost tolerable.) And, of course, the special edition of "The Dead Zone" stands way above the rest. Fine acting and direction help secure its place among the best King films. Save it for last...OK, some are silly and mindless, but I like most horror films for that very reason. This collection has the added benefit of a couple of winners. The widescreen transfer is excellent. The price is good. I recommend it...all 4 are true to King, inasmuch as they all take place in Maine.

Two five star movies, one four star movie, and one stinker........2006-10-10

I give five stars for The Dead Zone and Silver Bullet. I give four stars to Pet Semetary. Zero stars go to Graveyard Shift. All in all, it is a good set that is worth the price for three of the films. Just buy it for The Dead Zone, Silver Bullet, and Pet Semetary.

Even a man who is pure in heart,
And says his prayers by night,
May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms
And the autumn moon is bright.

If you haven't heard this piece of horror-movie doggerel before, you'll never forget it after seeing The Wolf Man for two reasons: it's a spooky piece of rhyme and nearly everybody in the picture recites it at one time or another. Set in a fog-bound studio-built Wales, The Wolf Man tells the doom-laden tale of Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.), who returns to the estate of his wealthy father (Claude Rains). (Yes, Chaney's American, but the movie explains this, awkwardly.) Bitten by a werewolf, Talbot suffers the classic fate of the victims of lycanthropy: at the full moon, he turns into a werewolf, a transformation ingeniously devised by makeup maestro Jack Pierce. Pierce was the man who turned Boris Karloff into the Frankenstein monster, and his werewolf makeup became equally famous, with its canine snout and bushy hairdo--and, of course, seriously sharp dental work. The Wolf Man was a smash hit, giving Universal Pictures a new monster for their already crowded stable, and Chaney found himself following in the footsteps (or paw prints) of his father, who had essayed a monster or two in the silent era. This is a classy horror outing, with strong atmosphere and a thoughtful script by Curt Siodmak--well, except for the stiff romantic bits between Chaney and Evelyn Ankers. It's also got Bela Lugosi (briefly) and Maria Ouspenskaya, the prunelike Russian actress who foretells doom like nobody's business. --Robert Horton

A Classic Horror Film.......2007-04-20

Made during the horror movie heyday of the late 1930s and early 1940s, this classic suspenseful thriller introduced audiences to one of the most well-known movie monsters; Lon Chaney Jr.'s "Wolf Man".

Chaney plays Larry Talbot, who is returning to his home in Wales after spending eighteen years in the United States. Larry's brother was recently killed in a hunting accident. Claude Rains stars as Larry's father, Sir John Talbot. Upon returning home, Larry helps his father install a new lens in his telescope. While peering through the lens, Larry discovers a beautiful girl in the window across the street. Her name is Gwen Conliffe (Evelyn Ankers). Larry goes over and introduces himself, and the two agree to go for a walk together that evening.

Gwen invites her friend Jenny Williams to come along. The three decide to go to have their fortunes told by a group of gypsies who have set up camp in town. Jenny goes first. Gypsy Bela (Bela Lugosi) reads Jenny's fortune. He is immediately disturbed when he sees the shape of a pentagram appear in Jenny's palm. He immediately tells Jenny to leave. Meanwhile, Gwen and Larry have walked off on their own. Minutes later, they hear a blood-curdling scream. Larry runs to investigate and finds a large wolf attacking Jenny. Larry manages to kill the wolf with his silver-handled cane, but he is bitten in the process.

Gypsy Maleva (Maria Ouspenskaya) tells Larry about the legend of the werewolf, and if a person is bitten by a werewolf and survives, they too will become a werewolf. Maleva gives Larry a charm to wear around his neck to protect himself, but he gives the charm to Gwen. On the night of the full moon, Maleva's predictions come true, as Larry Talbot is transformed into a werewolf. Will the charm protect Gwen, or will she suffer the same fate as her friend Jenny?

This movie has remained a classic for over sixty years, and it takes the viewer back to a time before the blood-and-guts horror films were popular, and movie producers relied on psychological terror to scare audiences. There is no blood in this movie, but the viewer is still scared by the unique movie sets, the fog rolling through the trees, and the haunting musical score. Lon Chaney Jr. made his role as the wolf man famous, and he's the only actor to have ever played the wolf man. Although the character was originally designed for Boris Karloff, Chaney made this his signature role. He will always be remembered as the wolf man. The other actors, especially Maria Ouspenskaya and Claude Rains, give good performances as well.

I give this movie my highest recommendation. This film takes me back to when I was a young child, and I used to stay up late on weekends watching the scary movies on television. Remember, "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolf bane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright".

an OK disappointment.......2007-01-19

for a so-called "classic horror movie" from 1939-41 era this one is definitely the least horrorific.

"Wolf, Gysy, Woman, Murder. What Is This?!".......2006-11-14

"Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolf bane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."

Universal was famous for their horror films and "The Wolf Man" is one of their most entertaining. Foggy sets, a great cast and an atmospheric score from musical director Charles Previn offer late night fun for classic film fans.

Lon Chaney, son of one of the great actors of the silent film era, stars as Larry Talbot. He has come home after the tragic death of his older brother. Talbot Castle, where his father ( Claude Rains) still lives is surrounded by legends of men who turn into wolves at the full moon.

It seems like hog-wash to Larry, who sets his eye on pretty Evelyn Ankers (Gwen). Small romantic touches such as his spotting her through his telescope and immediately becoming smitten lighten the mood and make the events which follow an even deeper tragedy.

It isn't long before Gwen's gal pal is struck down in the woods by something no longer a man and no longer human. When Larry rushes to save her and is bitten in the process his fate is sealed.

Maria Ouspenskaya stands out as the knowing gypsy who forsees Larry's future and tries to help. Once he realizes the legends are true and no one is safe, he turns over the charm given him to Gwen for protection and puts the final touch on his sad destiny.

Curt Siodmak's original screenplay has just the right mix of romance and horror to make this one of the most famous and entertaining of Universal's horror films. Evelyn Ankers, who starred in many of Universal's horror and mystery films, looks lovely in Vera Ralston's gowns and makes the perfect heroine to Chaney's tortured character. This is as much fun as you can have on a rainy night with a big bowl of popcorn. Don't miss it!

The Definitive Werewolf Classic!.......2006-08-05

I can't praise this movie highly enough, it is not only the best of the universal monsters series and one of the greatest werewolf films ever made certainly the definitive treatment, but also one of my all time favourite movies. Lon Chaney turns in an outstanding credible performance worthy of his father the legendary man of a thousand faces, actually the entire cast is outstanding, Claude Rains, Maria Ouspenskaya and Bela Lugosi.

The script by Curt Siodmak is marvellous, borrowing from genuine werewolf folklore and adding its own. The plot device of having the werewolf see the pentagram on the palm of it's next victim is truly ingenious and I don't know why it was never utilised in any of the sequels or any other werewolf films for that matter.

The score by Frank Skinner and Han J Salter is so haunting, and has a nice rich romantic sound to it, especially the cues used in the gypsy camp, if only The Wolf Man weren't a b movie it probably would have won an Oscar.

Lastly it must be said that Jack Pierce's make up and John P Faulton's werewolf transformations really go along way in making this film, who could ever forget the image of the wolf man walking through the fog shrouded forest in search of fresh victims.

The Mother of All Werewolf Movies!.......2006-03-15

Okay, so Universal Studios' 1941 classic, "The Wolf Man," wasn't the first werewolf film ever made. It is still, by far, the most widely known and loved. I mean, what werewolf is more iconic than the one Lon Chaney Jr. made famous?

The story begins with a look at an encyclopedia definition of "Lycanthropy" (werewolfism), making reference to the English village and Talbot Castle that are the settings of the film. We then meet young Larry Talbot, played by Lon Chaney Jr., being driven by a chauffer to his family home, Talbot Castle. Larry has returned, after living in America for many years, to take over the family estate after his older brother was killed in a hunting accident. We learn all this when Larry arrives and is greeted by his father, Sir John Talbot, played by the wonderful Claude Rains. Sir John is an amiable fellow, but still a bit stiff and stuck on propriety. Larry is a laid-back, American-style, "average Joe" type. It's clear that he left Talbot Castle due to the friction caused by being the younger son, second in-line for everything, but he is happy to be back and among family and friends.

Father and son happily agree to put the past behind them and settle Larry into his birthright together, and we soon find Larry and John in the observatory, where Larry works to install a new piece onto Sir John's telescope. Impressed by Larry's skill with his hands, Sir John leaves him alone to finish up. Big mistake! You can't leave Larry alone with a telescope! Larry is the Wolf-Man, after all! Ha, seriously. First thing Larry does is "accidentally" aim it at a bedroom in the nearby village, one just above Charles Conliffe's antique shop. Through the window, he discovers Conliffe's daughter, Gwen, played by the lovely Evelyn Ankers, putting on earrings as she finishes dressing. Naturally, being the wolf that he is, Larry hotfoots it over to the antique shop, and who could blame him? Gwen IS a hottie. If you think the waifish actresses we have nowadays are hot, get a load of 1940s dames! Anyway, Larry arrives and commences to put the moves on Gwen. He decides he is in the market for an antique walking stick. Gwen pokes fun at Larry, saying the dog-handled cane would suit him best, but he settles on a can with a silver, wolf's head handle instead. The handle also features a wolf inside a pentagram, which sparks Larry's curiosity. Gwen proceeds to give Larry a quick lesson on werewolves, as he has no idea what they are. She informs him that the pentagram is the mark of the werewolf, and that he sees it in the palm of his next victim's hand. At the heart of her brief tutorial is the first recitation of the film's legendary poem, "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright." Larry gets a kick out of the cane's side-story and decides to purchase it. He also makes a date to take Gwen out later that evening at eight, though she insists she cannot go out with him. As Larry exits and Gwen follows, the two see a gypsy cart traveling down the street. Larry suggests that they make their date a visit to the gypsy camp for a fortune reading, though Gwen continues to insist that she will not be coming along. Later on, Larry relays the day's events to his father, Sir John, who is happy to hear that his son is taking an interest in the townsfolk, and who also seems to know the little poem about werewolves that Gwen recited earlier. Werewolves are very popular around Talbot Castle!

8 o'clock comes around, as it always does, and Larry shows up outside the antique shop for his would-be date. Gwen is there too, waiting for him, though she still insists that she can't go. Sure, that's why she brought a chaperone along. Oh, yes, she brought a friend to make sure there was no funny business. You know how hot girls usually have unattractive best-friends around to ruin everything? Well, Gwen Conliffe has Jenny Williams. The three set off together, laughing about the situation as if they were off to see the wizard. As they walk through the eerie woods, Jenny brings up the old werewolf poem again. Clearly, the girls in this village have a werewolf fetish...hmm... When they find the old gypsy cart, Jenny asks to be the first, and Larry and Gwen are only too happy to allow it. Inside, the mysterious and off-putting Bela (the legendary Bela Lugosi) begins to read Jenny's fortune, but clearly he is having health problems. Jenny is disturbed when she notices the pentagram shaped scar on Bela's forehead. Meanwhile, outside and already a distance away, Gwen enlightens Larry as to why she has been so resistant to him. It seems that she is already engaged to the Talbot Estate's gamekeeper, Frank Andrews. Well, this doesn't stop the two from giving each other goo-goo eyes, but they are interrupted when a panicked Jenny sends out a scream in the night as she is attacked by a wolf while fleeing Bela's gypsy cart. Larry rushes to Jenny's aid but is too late to save her. He does, however, manage to kill the wolf that attacked her by beating it to death with the silver handle of his cane. Unfortunately, not before being bitten by the beast himself!

And that's just the half of it! "Whoever is bitten by a werewolf and lives, becomes a werewolf himself!"

A masterpiece and one of the classic "big three" of Universal horror, "The Wolf Man" is a must see film! Half hero, half villain, Lon Chaney Jr. turns in a performance to make his poppa proud! The makeup effects and attention to detail are phenomenal too. The Wolf Man even walks with his heels off the ground! Sure, he's fully dressed (minus shoes and socks), but he still strikes a more imposing figure than you might think! That face is totally wild! There's great chemistry between Lon and the lovely Evelyn Ankers, and the writing throughout the film is pure poetry. Claude Rains and Maria Ouspenskaya are unforgettable in their supporting roles too! A triumph in mood and style, an achievement of paranoia and fear, a study on dual identity and primitive instincts, a film that has inspired countless werewolf films since and several sequels of its own, "The Wolf Man" is still one of the best werewolf films ever made, and it's 65 years old! Props to Universal Studios and director George Waggner for that enormous achievement! Available on DVD in various forms and on VHS, I recommend the "Wolf Man Legacy Collection" 2-disc DVD set to the real werewolf fanatics out there. It also includes the sequel, "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man," along with "Werewolf of London," "She-Wolf of London," and a handful of fun bonus features. However, if you just want to see the original Universal Studios/Lon Chaney, Jr. classic, look no further! Pick this edition up today! You'll be glad you did! It's great for repeat midnight viewings!

Darkwolf, a half-breed hybrid werewolf, is terrorizing the streets of L.A. with evil plans to take over the world. Following on the bloody trail is strong yet sensitive L.A.P.D. detective Steve Turley (Ryan Alosio). Steve is part of a special investigative team that's tracking this very particular (and hairy) killer. It's up to him to destroy Darkwolf before he/it mates with a purebred, which will secure the future of the werewolf lineage. Meanwhile, Steve clues into the fact that his cute gal pal Josie (Samaire Armstrong) may be more than she seems as she starts going through a series of inexplicable "changes." Looking a lot like Melrose Place extras, the inspired and often nude cast do their very best to battle horrific dialogue, a nonsensical script, and a barely there budget. On the plus side, Tippi Hendren (The Birds) has a small role. Darkwolf is half man, half beast, and pure schlock. --Matt Wold

Description

A new breed of horror roams the streets of Los Angeles. It's the Darkwolf, a vicious werewolf with a thirst for blood--and a lust for Josie, a sexy, unsuspecting woman with a mysterious power she is only to beginning to understand. Once the Darkwolf catches Josie's scent, nothing can stop his insatiable hunger to mate with her…and he'll kill anyone who gets in his way!

IF YOU LIKE WEREWOLF WOLF I'D RECCOMED THIS

Terrible.......2006-02-20

I collect werewolf movies and own over 15 of them. Darkwolf is by far the worst I own. Do not buy this movie.

just average and nothing more.......2006-01-29

This movie was just as average movie but it could, if they put more money into it(it showed that little money was put into it), be a better movie.

The movie is a low budget movie(no surprise here) and the movie starts out at a strip club. that's a plus in my book, and breast flashing is happening within the frst few minutes. WOW! what a great way to take your mind off a mediocre movie.

Now, there some parts in the movie that can be scary but who...who will be scared of the werewolf? IT's a suit for crying out loud. Atl east tht's what it looked like. i was expecting to the see the zipper in the back. SO, that obviously is not a plus, unless you seeing a fake werewolf in a horror movie. SCARY!!

Well, it is good to know that "darkwolf" makes fun of its self, which wouldn't have been hard to do anyway. There are many things that they do like: plastic guns(they thought you wouldn't notice in that scene),and CRAP ugly dialogue. Who wrote this? This really held the actors in this movie from breaking out.

The nudity is great but it is just trying for to forget how bad it is and see skin. Well, it didn't work.

Now on to the acting: Samaire Armstrong was great. This was her first major role and she did a great job ,dispite god-awful dialouge. So, i think yoo can expect alot of things out of her(STAY Alive, Just my luck , and It's a boy girl thing-all coming out in 2006). can you say future star?Kane hoddler really had an average performance but i can say one thing: he some pecs of steel. Not really much t o ay onthe acting besides that.

The audio is on'e of the movie's highlights. It got a little repititve but the music itself was great and plenty of it.

SO...... would i watch this movie again? likely not. Even with the above average acting of samaire armstrong and hodder, the movie was jsut that:average and that's not good enough for me. So out of a ten i would give this a ..... 6/10 overall
8/10music
4/10money's worth

most of these actors you likely won't hear of again except samaire Armstrong. She has appeared on the oc etc. So, she's really the only main actress/actor that will(it seems) go on to do great things, just by seeing this. Just pick some better rolesnextime(which she did-look above on acting part of review).

That's all folks.

Where is the Wolf? Just Horrendous!.......2006-01-01

With the New Year just more than six hours away, I
must tell you that no matter a full moon, half moon,
quarter moon, or no moon at all, please avoid the
flick "Darkwolf" for many moons to come. What a joke.
What a silly, stupid, insult to one's intelligence.
The script could have been written by my dog
Stan...and even then, I give him the benefit of the
doubt to come up with something much more canine.

Let's put it this way. Have you ever seen a film that
contained people that irritated you so much, you
simply didn't give a ^&^%* if they got blown away? I
was hoping the entire cast got mulched by Mr. Wolf
less that 30 minutes into this loser. Go "Darkwolf".
Take a few chucks out of this cast, its director,
producer, writer and editors as quickly as
possible...and don't wait until the next full moon.

"Darkwolf" is an insult to motion pictures. More so,
it is an insult to such credible werewolf classics as
"The Wolf Man", "Wolfen" and "The Howling", not to
mention the tongue-in-cheek horror classic "An
American Werewolf in London".

Need I say more? "Darkwolf" has no bite. It's claws
and fangs have been chiselled to oblivion. The box
claims this flick to be "Half Man. Half Wolf. Pure
Evil." In reality it is Half/Whole Stupid. Half/Whole
Worthless. ...and...Pure ^%&*!

Get my drift? At midnight...as we turn another page
and the new year unfolds...I promise you you will
enjoy reruns of every episode of "Mary Hartman, Mary
Hartman", much more than "Darkwolf".

I'm off to watch yet another New Year's flick before
dawn. I need to make amends to Lon Chaney, Jr. before
midnight.

Bottom line, it was a film you didn't really care
"where" the "wolf" came from, or where the werewolf
was going. Pitiful...embarrassing..."I've seen the
bad moon rising" but this one makes me wish it would
set!

The worst werewolf movie ever made.......2005-10-13

I would've given this film 0 Stars if it would have let me. I've seen every werewolf movie from Naschy's Mexican lycanthropic romps to every installation of the Howling and I have NEVER seen a worse werewolf movie. Anyone who liked the special effects in this one would be impressed with the graphics from old Atari videogames -- seriously, it's that bad. And acting? Give oscars to the cast from Plan 9 from Outer Space and attack of the Killer Tomatoes compared with the performances in this piece of celluloid trash. No..it's not even good enough to be in the same category as trash. Let's see what else, oh yeah a plot? Nope, none to speak of here. The sex and nudity is the only reason I even finished it. Do yourself a favor and avoid this flick like rabies, or you'll find yourself wishing you had the last hour and a half of your life back.

Werewolf Shadow (A.K.A: The Werewolf v.s. Vampire Woman) is another true classic of Paul Naschy. Decent story line, decent acting and again with the crazy werewolf of Paul Naschy this movie is very good for any horror fan. Again, if you like cheese in your horror, this one is a keeper. Recommended!

My introduction to Waldemar...and Naschy.......2006-07-10

Just a disclaimer...the version I viewed, from the Mill Creek Drive In Classics package, is the cut 82 minute version...here we go...

Paul Naschy stars as tormented lycanthrope Waldamer, who lives in a cottage in the French countryside. Seems the only thing that can give ol Waldy the death he desires is a silver cross used centuries before to vanquish a devil-worshipping vampire Countess. Along come some young Spanish girls who know where her tomb is, and wah-la, Naschy has the cross and the girl who loves him that must deliver the blow. One problem. Seems removing this silver cross raises the Countess from the, uh, undead, and she proceeds to start raising a vampire army and trying to summon Mr. Scratch himself (who appears in a small shadowy cameo late in the picture). These would be bad things. Anyway, the girl who falls for him has another boyfriend, a policeman, who comes calling for her. They get captured by the Countess and all types of heck break loose. Can Waldemar stop her? Will he finally get his eternal rest? Will we get to see some real vampire on werewolf goodness? To the last point, at least in this print, alas, no. But it's still a good film with clunky dubbing. Hope to see the uncut version at some point, and some more Naschy films too. This cat's pretty cool.

PURE CRAP!.......2006-03-10

Long. Drawn out. Boring. Barely any nudity. A complete waste of time for a 70's horror flick.

At last !.......2004-09-22

Its good to see the Naschy movies being released here in the states (although at a slow pace). This one was long over due as the butchered version known as Werewolf Vs. The Vampire Woman is such a bad print its hardly worth watching. The DVD treatment of Werewolf Shadow is quite good in its uncut/unedited wide screen glory. While these movies are not for everyone there is a following for them. If you are a Naschy fan you will enjoy this one even though Curse Of The Devil is a bit better in my estimation. A werewolf,vampires and nude cuties. Whats not to love?

Thanks Mr Naschy.......2004-08-25

Paul Naschy has put his heart and soul and imagination into horror movies for decades. Werewolf Shadow is a fine example of what the man is all about. Fun? You bet. Creepy and weird? You got it. Cheesy? Sure is. Passionate? Yep it's that too. Naschy gives another passionate performance here and the tragic and romantic elements of his character make this something special. The quality of the print is damn nice too. The special features help to make this even more of a winner for fans of B-movie horror.
