Blu B 5d It's 70% gritty police murder investigation and 30% a horror fantasy movie. How someone decided this was a good combo is kind of weird and what's just as odd is it's actually half decent all around. Finney is great in this and probably the best thing. It's a slow burn type of flick and like Jaws we literally don't see the wolves until the final 30 minutes or so. So it does keep your interest and ironically enough the hard nosed police investigation scenes are the best parts. The scenes where we actually focus on werewolf stuff and the lore, and the villians is all....alright I guess. The villians are super forgettable, the crazy god like mythos is just kind of crazy and just doesn't fit for a film that takes itself so seriously and is grounded and gritty. That was my biggest issue. The more it gets into that 30% horror fantasy stuff the weaker it gets. It should've done it in a more grounded way like a vaccine trail gone wrong. The films police story parts can also get a little meander See more Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 28 Success in 1 hour and 55 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if the effects today feel totally dated, they give the movie a unique charm and work well with the depressing atmosphere of New York City in the early 80`s. Albert Finney is brilliant and I could watch and listen to him the whole movie, even if nothing else would happen 🙂 See more Gabriel W Feb 5 Wolfen, Fright Night, An American Werewolf in London, House (Teil 1), Lost Boys, Zeit der Wölfe; Near Dark, Night of the Creeps, Gremlins, Dracula'79, Teufelskreis Alpha, Lifeforce... Da ist etwas, was sich heutzutage nicht mehr wiederholen lässt. Es ist sehr schwer Filme dieser Art zu finden. Wolfen hat eine einzigartige Atmosphäre. Der geerdete Cop, der immer tiefer in eine mysteriöse Geschichte um Wölfe in der Großstadt gezogen wird. Die Kills, die man in der Art und der Sicht vom Wolf, nie wieder so gesehen hat. Die Stadt, wie sie heute nicht mehr Aussieht. Das gesamte Setting und der Ton. Das Story Telling, um die Ermittlungen. Geht es vielleicht um elnen Werewolf? Die Verknüpfung mit indianischer Mythologie. Natürlich die Dialoge. Diese Art zu reden in jener Zeit Und nicht zu letzt, die Darsteller Riege. Absolut Sehenswert See more Alec B @Alec97 02/22/2024 Each of the characters become enduring right after they are introduced (no doubt due to the consistently funny dry humor) which is sort of a rarity for these kinds of monster movies. Also, the movie almost completely avoids certain obvious narrative choices in favor of something weirder which I always appreciate See more Daniel C 10/15/2022 horror gelijk vroeger met echte dieren geen weerwolven die mens zijn en veranderen in wolven neen gewoon dieren met goede speciale effecten voor die tijd redelijk spanning en horror. wolven die mensen vermoorden maar dit zijn geen gewone wolven maar volgens de legende zouden het geesten zijn van indianen die hun grond beschermen. lang geleden gezien en gekocht om dvd See more Read all reviews
