It's been a long time coming -- we're back with another entry in our iconic monsters series, looking at the greatest werewolf movies.
. This time, we’re looking at the greatest werewolf movies ever made. Quit serenading the moon, and let’s get down to business!Neil Marshall’s gritty, action-packed thriller works primarily because it looks and feels like an old-school, low-budget feature replete with dark lighting, rapid editing that works hard to hide the furry baddies, and a fast pace that slingshots viewers through a gauntlet of incredibly violent set pieces.
The transformation effects are fantastic, the gore repulsive — and yes, that final jump scare damn near made me piss my pants. There’s a lot to admire here, even if the pic, based on Stephen King’s novella Cycle of the Werewolf, doesn’t exactly traverse new ground and occasionally nose-dives into hokey melodrama. It’s also more spooky than scary but still wholly watchable and very entertaining.I’m not gonna lie: The Howling freaked me out when I saw it as a kid.
Dee Wallace is terrific in the lead role as a news anchor embroiled in a werewolf mystery surrounding a community of folks known as The Colony. She believably reacts to the absurdity around her, even if you have to look hard not to see Elliot’s mom. Moreover, Lon Chaney’s performance as Larry Talbot, the tormented man who becomes the Wolf Man, is fun to watch. At the same time, the psychological exploration of humanity’s primal instincts is relatively transcendent by the day’s standards. I don’t return to this one often, preferring Frankenstein and Dracula to this shaggy dog, but I respect the creativity that went into crafting this enduring classic.
