Rewatched this tonight and it really holds up! The smart, clever script combined with assured direction, an excellent cast, wonderful music and stellar cinematography make this a winner - a classic even. Thumbs up to the Scream Factory Blu-Ray!
I have a hard time choosing between 1981's two classic werewolf films. Some days it's one and some days it's the other.
Brian- Yeah - pretty generic title. I was kind of hoping for a multi-word German re-titling that translated as MAD WOLF MONSTER RAPES NEWS WOMAN'S HUSBAND! ;-)
I'd take this over American Werewolf any day.
ReplyDeleteSo the German release title for THE HOWLING was... THE ANIMAL ("DAS TIER")? Rather generic!
