Twenty years after Lon Chaney Jr.'s 1941 classic The Wolf Man, England's Hammer Studios came up with the second good werewolf picture. Oliver Reed stars as the grown offspring of a brutal rape whose murderous impulses may be rooted in latent lycanthropy. Director Terence Fisher once again takes the genre in an intelligent new direction, creating a richly detailed film that finds more horror in aristocratic tyranny than the monster itself. Read the complete review for The Curse Of The Werewolf
Oliver Reed portrays the bloodthirsty man-beast who loves by day and kills by night in this gripping gothic thriller. Directed by horror filmmaker Terence Fisher of Hammer Film fame, this atmospheric tale of terror follows Reed, the orphaned baby of a maniacal beggar and a mute girl, from birth to manhood, when he discovers his horrible secret. Try as he may, the cursed youth is unable to suppress the dark forces within. When the moon is full, he becomes an uncontrollable killer incapable of distinguishing between friend and foe. Spectacular makeup effects and beautifully photographed 19th Century European locales heighten the suspense of this classic werewolf story.
