August 10, 2010Classic furry tale set in Spain for this wolfman fable and its not too bad for a different look and feel. Its classic 'Hammer' all the way of course, well spoken actors mixed with cockney Londoners haha very Spanish feel I assure you ;)
But its the look of the film which is real... read more -
April 14, 2010Curse of the Werewolf started off in an unconventionally amazing way as it started with some gruesome territory involving rape, gruesome murder and other elements you wouldn't expect from a movie from the early 60s. I liked how it told an almost life story of a werewolf giving th... read more

June 24, 2007The late Oliver Reed gives such a stunning performance as the wolf man that it is obvious that only a true wild man such as himself could have made this role work.

December 19, 2011Above average were-wolf tale from the Hammer Horror Films Studio. Hammer Films made dozens of Dracula, Frankenstein, and Mummy films but for some reason they only made one about were-wolfs. The duo of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are missed but Terence Fisher's directing m... read more

July 29, 2010The under-rated late Oliver Reed shines as Leon who's born into a life where he turns into a werewolf on a full moon. However the film is too much like any other werewolf movie, they all end the same way. Even the new film is too much like any of the originals. However, if you wa... read more

May 22, 2009Zzzzzzz? This movie is lame. The story is lame, the acting is lame, the makeup is lame. The film was set in Spain entirely for practical/budgetary reasons, which makes little sense, werewolves are creatures that seem rooted in northern Europe and England. There is no good reas... read more

February 25, 2012I believe this one was supposed to be a comedy. I mean how else does one explain the whole over the top origin story? A filthy beggar, a mute girl, and a disgusting Marques? Plus what the hell is the servant girl doing just floating in the pond? There is no transformation sequenc... read more

August 25, 2011This one starts off innocuously enough, like an old fable of sorts, but then it spirals into a goofy story about forbidden love, silver bullets made of crucifixes, and too much wine. The great Oliver Reed gives his all in his performance as Leon Corledo, but the script is hopeles... read more

Lon Chaney, Jr.'s Wolf Man may be cinema's most famous lycanthrope, but there can be little doubt that this 1960 film from Hammer Productions is the best werewolf movie ever made. Full Review

Directed by famed horror filmmaker and Hammer favorite, Terence Fisher, this slow-moving tale never quite works. Full Review
