AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

MonsterVision99 "Moon of the Wolf" its painfully mediocre, it offers nothing new to the genre, its not fun to watch (at least most of the time it isn't), and its also really dull.It has interesting elements, some of the characters are actually pretty decently written and the effects aren't too terrible but its mostly just boring and predictable. This could have been a very interesting and engaging werewolf movie but the fact that its a TV movie limits it, I suppose the novel its better.

Witchfinder General 666 MOON OF THE WOLF (1972) is an OK-at-best, made-for-TV werewolf flick that has one outstanding quality: the setting in the Louisiana Bayou. I tend to love Horror films set in the Deep South and the setting in this one seems very genuine. After several locals turn up murdered, the sheriff (David Janson) of a rural Louisiana Bayou community suspects a werewolf to be responsible... MOON OF THE WOLF offers no real surprises, to me personally the identity of the Werewolf was clear pretty soon (actually, it was too obvious, which gave me a lick of doubt). A romance between the sheriff and his high-school sweetheart is thrown in as a filler. The film occasionally becomes somewhat boring, which, regarding the screen time of 75 minutes, is quite an accomplishment. Yet, the film has its qualities. As mentioned above, the setting is awesome. The Bayou landscapes all look very genuine, as does the small-town, and a vital part of the movie takes place in a Colonial mansion. Some of the bit-part players make a genuine redneck impression, one of them the prolific Geoffrey Lewis, a great supporting actor whose filmography includes great films of many genres, including MY NAME IS NOBODY, Clint Eastwood's HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER, DILLINGER and Tobe Hoopers SALEM'S LOT. MOON OF THE WOLF may be enjoyed for the Deep Southern atmosphere, but overall nobody who hasn't seen it has missed anything.

wes-connors "Sheriff Aaron Whitaker (David Janssen) covers the Louisiana bayou country and is faced with a mysterious death. The victim appears to have been attacked by a vicious animal, until the medical examiner determines the death was actually a murder. Using the circumstances of the crime and the evidence he uncovers, Sheriff Whitaker concludes a werewolf is responsible for the killing and must discover who the monster is before any further deaths occur," according to the DVD sleeve description. Responding to Dan Curtis' wildly successful "The Night Stalker", ABC-TV set director Daniel Petrie and writer Alvin Sapinsley werewolf hunting. The resulting "Moon of the Wolf" filled their prime fall "Tuesday Movie of the Week" timeslot. Familiar guest-starring faces include beautiful Barbara Rush (from "Peyton Place"), brother Bradford Dillman, and bedside-mannered John Bernardino (of "General Hospital"). Leading the pack, Mr. Janssen (formerly "The Fugitive") looks for the hairy left-handed suspect.*** Moon of the Wolf (9/26/72) Daniel Petrie ~ David Janssen, Barbara Rush, Bradford Dillman, John Beradino

OldAFSarge I just watched this movie again to see what I could remember from about 25 years ago. I remember seeing this when it first hit TV and I enjoyed it then and I enjoyed it all over again. Being from the South I didn't find it too slow, nor a weak story. However, I must admit that I like David Jansen who plays Sheriff Aaron Whitaker and Barbara Rush was always one of my favorite actresses. Ms Rush plays the high society lady that has been off to New York and has just returned to Marsh Island. Her brother Bradford Dillman plays Andrew Rodanthe, one of the remaining members of the towns oldest family. Other folks that you will remember if you are over 40 or so are Geoffrey Lewis, Royal Dano, and John Davis Chandler. All in all a decent werewolf movie for it's time. For me it was a very pleasant break from all the teenage slasher movies that have become all the rage. If you want a break from all the blood and gore and want to see a movie that you can watch with your children, but still want a little horror, then this is it. Very little blood, no nudity, and little if any language, so it is very tame by todays standards.
