I knew we were in for it, girls, when, at the start, Svengoolie announced that, because of the length of the film, he would not be able to do his usual schtick. Oh, my God!!!!!!!!! No Kerwin???????????????????????
And there our Kerwin sat, with Baby Gojira and David, all tanked up to watch this film.
Not since 1959's "The Killer Shrews" have I seen such poor depictions of werewolves. They all looked like German Shepherds,with funny wolf masks on their heads! How did they tolerate that? It must have been in their contract.
All this is by way of revealing that there is not just one werwolf in this film, but three!!!!!!!!!! And that is all I am going to say.
Because this turgid, drawn out Agatha Christie redo (again) and Richard Connell ("The Most Daangerous Game") rehash, again, will put one to sleep faster than the silver bulllet kills the werewolf.
This was shot on the cheap, and plays fast with the werewolf myth. Like, someone who is a werewolf will react in pain to holding a silver candlestick? Huh? Who ever came up with that? The werewolf strikes at night, when the moon is full, but it is quite obvious that severaal night scenes, full moon included, were shot during the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peter Cushing, the only A-list actor on board, phones in his performance, beside which he looks positively ill!!!!!!!!!! I wonder if he was? And why he agreed to do this tripe???????????????????
Thank God there was time for Svengoolie and Kerwin.
They even upstaged the werewolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know why even the DOG agreed to do this
Victoria,
The dog must have had an agent
who sold him on the project. But
after the dog saw the finished
film, I am sure he was smart
enough to fire the agent!
