The Poor Beast Took Much Too Long To Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
