4 out of 5 stars Clint Walker is chilling in this film.......2007-05-14

I have always loved werewolves, but this one has a twist. Won't give the movie away, but Clint Walker spent 20 years playing goody two shoes roles in Hollywood, like WB's and ABC's "Cheyenne" and he did a lot of great films where he wasn't quite the good guy, "Fort Dobbs" sticks out. But overall, he played a Saint. This movie he doesn't. He's a bit older in it and so is Peter Graves. But the movie is well worth seeing. I loved every chilling moment of it, with the shocking ending. I suggest you buy it if you are a fan of Walker's, Graves' or Werewolf genre.

3 out of 5 stars Decent 1970s TV move -- but crappy DVD.......2007-05-13

The 1970s was a Golden Age of TV horror, most of it broadcast on ABC.

SCREAM OF THE WOLF does have some good creative lineage. Written & directed by Dan Curtis. Music by Robert Corbert (both men were behind DARK SHADOWS and NIGHT STALKER). For that matter, SCREAM OF THE WOLF also features Jo Ann Pflug, the female lead in NIGHT STRANGLER.

But SCREAM OF THE WOLF is not one of the better 1970s TV horror films. It's not even supernatural horror. I won't spoil the ending, but there's nothing supernatural in this "werewolf" film. It turns out to be a suspense film.

Of course, many supernatural horror fans also enjoy suspense films (e.g., PSYCHO). But SCREAM OF THE WOLF is not a great suspense film, either. It's okay, but very low budget, not too surprising or original, and not very interesting.

And this DVD leaves much to be desired. It looks struck from an old 16mm film print, the kind distributed to TV stations. Scratch marks show up throughout the film. There are even GREASE PENCIL MARKS!

What are those? Editors would often write on film strips with grease pencils. Notations, such as where to trim, or fix a broken or torn film. They wrote with grease pencils, because the grease could easily be erased afterwards.

However, this DVD's SCREAM OF THE WOLF transfer still has those grease pencil marks, which flash by on occasion, along with the scratches. This is not a clean, digitally remastered print.

I've seen this film selling on Amazon -- this very same DVD -- for over $70. Please! Save your money. It's worth a few bucks if you're a hardcore horror/suspense film fan. Or a completist for any of the principal creative people involved. But this is not a seminal work in horror film history. It's hardly the best of the genre, or even of the genre's period. Buy it for a few bucks, otherwise wait a decent price.

2 out of 5 stars "Tonight on the A.B.C. Tuesday Movie Of The Week!" Part 3.......2007-04-18

Wow, did I ever really like this one. Just not up to the memory that I had of this one. Really just a a live action version of "Scooby Doo" without the humor. really shows it's age now.

4 out of 5 stars Well-Done Horror From The 70s' TV Movies.......2004-12-20

I first watched this alone at night when I was a teenage college student and it scared the HECK out of me! Of course it doesn't have the same impact 30 years later, but if viewed in the context of the time period and cinematic limitations of TV in the pre-Disco era, it is a well-done horror flic with Dan Curtis's inimitable mark on it (and Robert Colbert's unmistakable albeit a tad repetitive soundtrack: virtually identical to The Night Stalker, The Night Strangler and The Norliss Tapes - now THAT needs to come out on DVD!!!). The 'bad guy' is clear-cut from almost the very beginning - no surprises there, but the nighttime cinematography is excellent, and it's always a pleasure to see the cars, clothes and hairstyles of my old college years. Now, Hollywood come on: PLEASE get the wonderful suite of Movies Of The Week onto DVD, like Norliss, The Love War, Night Slaves, etc. - the nostalgic Baby Boomers are primed and waiting!! :)

3 out of 5 stars Scream Of The 70s!.......2004-03-22

SCREAM OF THE WOLF opens with a guy in a convertible being attacked and mutilated (in our minds) by a growling "creature", that tears through the rag-top and smashes out the car windows. Not a bad beginning for a made-for-tv movie from the silly seventies. Dan Curtis (Trilogy Of Terror) seemed to be able to make things scary and suspenseful, even under the ridiculous constraints of network television. Peter Graves (Mission Impossible, Airplane) is John, a man brought in by the sheriff to figure out who or what is killing people in a small california beachtown. Clint Walker (Killdozer) is John's misanthropic friend Byron. Byron hates people because they're weak. He has more respect for the animals he kills than for modern man. John tries unsuccessfully to get Byron to help him find the murderer. Byron would rather wax philosophical about our pitiful species. So, the rampage continues, with some fairly frightening (for 70s tv) stalking / death sequences. Will John figure things out in time? Is a werewolf really causing these murders? Will Byron ever loosen up? Watch and see...
