Sehr guter Werwolf-Film aus den legendären Hammer-Studios mit dem jungen Oliver Reed (DAS waren noch Schauspieler). Der Charakter des Werwolfs wird nicht einfach als bluttrünstiges Monster dargestellt, sondern als leidende Kreatur.
Ein Muss für die Fans der alten Horrorklassiker, in denen noch Wert auf die Story und gute Schauspieler gelegt wurde. Im Gegensatz zu heute, wo man zwar schöne Tricks aus dem Compi zaubern kann, dafür die Seele fehlt.
Oliver Reed!
