Night of the Werewolf (El Retorno del Hombre-Lobo) 1980, R)
Night of the Werewolf was written and directed by Naschy himself in 1980, after gothic horror was out of style. This film is gorgeous, though. Much better looking than Hammer's last gothic movies in the 70's. Naschy plays a tormented werewolf under the power of the vampiric Elizabeth Bathory. Certain plot elements, especially the opening scene where a man is executed wearing a mask, seem to be cribbed from Black Sunday. One of my favorite unearthed treasures of the year, and I'm inspired to check out other Naschy films. |

Never Cry Werewolf 2008, Unrated)
Essentially a remake of Fright Night with a female protagonist and werewolf neighbor. Kevin Sorbo plays the blowhard monster hunter who is unprepared for the real thing. Fun story, with better than average effects for a direct to video movie. |
