Review of The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) by Bryan M — 21 Oct 2009
Rather slow moving, odd Hammer werewolf movie. Curse of the Werewolf is Hammer's only werewolf movie, and isn't very traditional. The werewolf is almost a combination of myth and the truth behind the myth ("werewolves" often could have been people suffering from some sort of mental illness).
Reed's werewolf was born from a mute and a madman, became a werewolf after the taste of fresh blood, and could remain human through love. The makeup is good, and the film has a very bright, clean look to it.
