Review of The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) by Tom B — 06 May 2009
Hammer Films, last bastion of romantic sentiment. Surprisingly lush cinematography, strong folklore, social castes, heaving bosoms, and Oliver Reed playing young man cursed to turn into a werewolf. The cure for the curse? A woman's true love.
Leonard Cohen says there ain't no cure for love, but can love cure? This terrified me when I was a kid, now I find it touching and a bit more insightful than maybe it deserves. But great.
