Viewing Notes

A radically refreshing and different take on the werewolf story! If I remember correctly, the werewolf in this was featured in the Creature Features trading card set I had as a kid. This is one of the few movies featured in those cards that I had never tracked down and watched. So when Shout Factory had their sale, I finally picked this up.

I think this was Oliver Reed’s first starring role and he’s pretty great in it.
