Movie Review by The Undertaker

The film that set the standard for lycanthropy even to the now. Make-up was far ahead of its time (still far ahead of many that try to make a werewolf today). Great atmosphere and great support for Lon Chaney jr.'s character. Remember when movies actually tried to have atmosphere and be scary by having weird people cast in them? Prime examples here are Bela Lugosi's character and the old gypsy hag. Lon Chaney Jr brings out the sympathy for a man turned monster thru no fault of his own. I personally don't think a truly great werewolf film has ever come close to being made, this one though might still be the closest to my ideal. & please don't try to tell me Wolf was some kinda remake cause it was just to damn pretty. Pretty cast, pretty little lighting, & pretty boring. I prefer The Howling, A. W.I. L. & The Wolfman hands down as the best moon made mad monsters mulling about ever. Thanks you old school fuckers that started it all!
