Review of The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) by Kevin B — 26 Jun 2007

This is possibly the best werewolf film ever made. It really fleshes out the lead character's journey since his birth all the way through his short life. I like d the idea of his mom being raped and giving birth to him on christmas eve, thus cursing him to a tortured life.

Even today the movie's make up is astounding, and it was wise of director Terrence Fisher not to show the beast until the end of the movie. It is also still somewhat frightening.
