Review of The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) by Mjs M — 21 May 2009

Zzzzzzz? 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 reason for an English studio to go abroad when the some really cool forests are only a stone?s throw away? Spain is many things, but it doesn?t provoke anywhere near the atmosphere that the 1941 Wolfman was able to evoke by setting it on the moors (though it was probably shot on a soundstage).

Rally, I?m beginning to think these hammer flicks aren?t worth my time. I thinking that these are just the sixties equivalents of the lame horror remakes we have to deal with today.
