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 …

The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

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 …

Howl (2015)

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 …

Cursed (2005)

I went on a bit of a run of Werewolf movies at the start of the year after my disappointment with “The Wolf Man” (2025). After watching six of them I felt I’d cleaned the bad taste out of my mouth, but I had several left over. Naturally, I set some aside for my October …

Werewolf Triple Bill – Part II

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 …

Werewolf Triple Bill

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 …

Head to Head: Wolf Man (2025) & The Beast Within (2024)

fenrisfil — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 16:02:53 +0000

Today I have a Werewolf double bill for you, checking out the just released “Wolf Man” from Universal/Blumhouse and “The Beast Within”, an independent release, directed by Alexander J. Farrell, from last year. I’m going to put these two wolves head to head. These movies are pretty similar so it makes sense to make a …

Werewolf of London (1935)

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 …
