Werewolf of London (1935), a review by addicted2dvd

Werewolf of London (1935)


My Thoughts:
I have a bit of mixed feelings on this one. Even though I enjoyed the story very much... there was a few things here that I didn't care for. The first thing I noticed was while the werewolf makeup was pretty cool looking... it wasn't as good as the makeup in The Wolf Man. Of course this movie is 6 years earlier then the more famous The Wolf Man. Another thing that just rubbed me the wrong way is after the first time of become the werewolf... he goes to leave on the hunt.... but before leaving takes the time to stop and put on his hat, jacket and scarf. That just didn't make any sense to me at all. The quality on this movie is very good especially for how old the movie is. There was however one minor problem with the audio. Throughout the first half of the movie we had nice loud, crisp and clear sound. Then at about the half way point the sound level dropped... even though still crisp and clear it was only about half the volume. Like I said... minor problem and it didn't stop me from enjoying the movie. There is 2 extras attached with this movie. A featurette for the classic universal werewolf movies and the trailer for this movie. So far I only watched the trailer.

Plot:
Horror novelist Roger Cobb is a man on the edge, reeling from his recent divorce, haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his young son, and struggling with his new book about his traumatic experiences in Vietnam. But when he moves into the strange house left to him by his late aunt, Roger's precarious sanity comes under siege by nightmares of his dead war buddy, visits from a nosy neighbor, and an onslaught of hideous creatures from another dimension. Horror has found a new home, and it's fully furnished with murder, monsters and madness!

William Katt (CARRIE, THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO), George Wendt (CHEERS), Richard Moll (NIGHT COURT) and Kay Lenz (STRIPPED TO KILL) star in this outrageously scary horror hit, produced by Sean S. Cunningham (FRIDAY THE 13TH) and directed by Steve Miner (WARLOCK, HALLOWEEN: H2O).

My Thoughts:
As you can see from the Overview... This movie has 3 TV Stars to make this movie relevant for this marathon. It has William Katt, George Wendt & Richard Moll. This is a fun Comedy-Horror movie. It is not perfect... but it is definitely entertaining. I really enjoyed George Wendt as the neighbor. Worth checking out for some non-sense fun.



NOTE: Jimmy... there is another review for House by me available.. but this one has more info so you can just change the link to this one.
