Micitype Pretty Good

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

tavm Between Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein and this one-8 years later-there were no werewolf movies. When this one came out, the world was much changed as there was a Cold War going on and the public was on edge also concerning possible nuclear war. So when Sam Katzman made this one, he had included the possibility of having the creature being injected with a nitrogen that would make him even more dangerous than before. Other than that, the premise is the same-the werewolf kills somebody, people investigate, there may be hope for a cure or at least of finding out the cause, and then comes the climax. This was yet another of the obscure werewolf movies I discovered by looking at the Wikipedia list of werewolf fiction under the heading "films" before finding out it was available online and then just watching it right now. I'll just now say I was as entertained as I could be so on that note, I highly recommend The Werewolf!

Scott LeBrun Steven Ritch plays a stranger who arrives in the small California town of Mountaincrest, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. He also has the unfortunate tendency to sprout hair, claws, and fangs at any old time, and the townsfolk attempt to catch Ritch in his wolfish form. Then two doctors (S. John Launer, George Lynn) follow Ritch there, knowing full well that they're the ones who put him in his predicament, and try to cover up their actions."The Werewolf" is a well acted, modest production that gets great mileage out of its Big Bear Lake locations, as well as fine atmosphere. It also puts a fresh spin on the standard werewolf story, taking it into the Atomic Age and giving us a lycanthrope born of not myth and legend but of scientific meddling. Of course, like many a good werewolf story, it's also a tragedy, with a main character who does earn our sympathies. People like Dr. Gilcrist (Ken Christy) and his niece Amy Standish (Joyce Holden) work at convincing the law, represented by Don Megowan as the sheriff and Harry Lauter as his deputy, to please try to take Ritch alive, if possible, knowing that he is a basically good man who cannot control what is happening to him.The werewolf makeup by Clay Campbell is decent, the stock music appropriated serves its purpose, and there is some very crisp black & white photography by Edward Linden. The performances are fine, with Megowan as a sturdy, jut jawed (if not that expressive) hero; Eleanore Tanin and Kim Charney are appealing as Ritchs' distraught wife and son.Good entertainment, with a striking finale done in long shot at a dam.Seven out of 10.

gavin6942 Duncan Marsh (Steven Ritch), a mild-mannered man, finds himself lost in a remote village called Mountaincrest. His mind is clouded, but he learns later that Emory Forrest (S. John Launer) and Morgan Chambers (George Lynn), two scientists, injected him with a special serum containing irradiated wolf's blood when he was suffering from amnesia after being in a car accident.This film, not widely known to fans today, is worthy of note for two reasons: first, it allegedly was the first film to present lycanthropy in a scientific rather than supernatural way (even if the science makes no sense). There is no full moon, silver bullets, demonic curses or anything of the sort here.Second, we have the gigantic Don Megowan as Sheriff Jack Haines, who horror and sci-fi fans should know as Gill-man in "The Creature Walks Among Us" or perhaps even "The Creation of the Humanoids". Megowan is an impressive actor physically and fits the bill nicely.

TheCrowing13 I purchased this movie expecting it to be half-ass considering I bought it in the Sam Katzman's producers pack. I was surprised to find an interesting film in which a sympathetic character is cursed well...(I don't want to spoil the movie at all) I was enjoying the film until about 50 or 60 min into it, at that point I wanted the story to move along the film spends a lot of time wandering in the hunt to find this abomination. Which you never really see much of, this is the kind of monster movie were the creature needs to be seen early in a spectacular way. This does not happen here, you don't even witness a transformation occurring, the real let down. I was still surprised how much i felt pity on the main character and wanted him to become cure. The film still didn't do it for me though when I start looking at the clock during a movie, it's not getting anything above 5 stars. 4/10
