For tonight’s movie, I’m hitting the Werewolf sub-genre again and finally checking out Hammer Horror’s take on the beast from 1961. This is from legendary director Terence Fisher and stars legendary actor Oliver Reed (In his first lead role). It also features a 12 tone serials score from Benjamin Frankel. That is, the score avoids …
The full moon is up again here at Screen-Wolf, so it’s time for another werewolf triple bill. I think I’ve finally washed the bad taste of “Wolf Man” (2025) out of my mouth, so this will be the last one for now. Here are three more reviews of this difficult to pull off sub-genre of …
Rather than doing a regular review roundup for January, I’m going to take a bit of a swerve. Continuing the trend from my previously posted reviews, I’m reviewing three werewolf movies. So, if you follow this blog (Or my social media posts), you know I didn’t like the new “Wolf Man” (2025) movie. That’s an …
No October Review Challenge can be complete without at least one classic Universal monster movie. This time around I’m bringing you the first feature length werewolf movie “Werewolf of London”. While “The Wolf Man” (1941) was far more iconic, and added silver bullets to the lore, it is this movie that really defined the movie …
Tonight’s movie is technically as a “TV Special” instead of a movie, but as a stand alone story of 52 minutes length and some of the movies it pays homage to are only around one hour too I feel this counts. “Werewolf By Night” is technically part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though the story …
2025 was not a great year for the box office. Falling about in line with the disappointing 2024 box office. Much like previous years a handful of successes propped up a large number of flops. But movie theaters have a lot to worry about, especially with the pending purchase of Warner Brothers by Netflix. This …
Tonight’s horror is another from the “Werewolf list”. That is the movies I decided to track down and watch after my disappointment with “Wolf Man” (2025). Eight movies in and I finally had the bad taste out of my mouth. But the list was longer than that, so I saved the rest up for this …
For tonight’s movie I’m hitting two classic Halloween elements at once. One is a Universal Monsters movie and the second is Vincent Price. This was Price’s fourth movie role and his first horror. Yes, this is Vincent Price’s first horror. Of course since he plays the titular character, you don’t actually see him for the …
For tonight’s movie I’m checking out the Russel Crowe lead exorcism horror “The Popes Exorcist”. This is a fictional story, based on a real life exorcists experiences. Specifically that of Father Gabriele Amorth. Perhaps the most famous real life exorcist, who has written multiple books on his experiences. The film stars Russel Crowe as Amorth, …
Britain has strong ties with Werewolf movies. The movie that established the rules of on screen lycanthropy was “Werewolf of London” (1935). The movie often regarded as the best Werewolf movie of all time is “American Werewolf in London” (1981), set in London and a co-production. If I was to list a top five Werewolf …
