I really hope that all other directors and special effects co-producers will make billions and billions of new weird werewolf movies and use a over hundreds of makeup fx, puppetry fx, and many, many air-bladders fx.Edwardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-42461679830874733672012-06-27T17:16:03.829-07:002012-06-27T17:16:03.829-07:00Thanks for stopping by! ...

I think An American Werewolf in London edges it out slightly because of the pathos generated by David's character. I need to give Dog Soldiers a second look - I remember liking the premise.Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-80511319883605494642012-06-25T06:12:06.211-07:002012-06-25T06:12:06.211-07:00Nice review of one of my favorite horror films of ...Nice review of one of my favorite horror films of the 60s. I still think Rick Baker's werewolf effects are first-rate. Good points re: the skillful blending of comedy and horror. My only quibble with this film is the very abrupt ending. Regular bullets kill David at the end, Jenny Agutter (mmm, Jenny Agutter...drool) stares at his corpse, cue "Blue Moon" and we're out. <br /><br />Still, along with THE HOWLING and the recent DOG SOLDIERS, one of the best werewolf movies (not a huge selection, of course, but still). WOLFEN is all right too.Jeff Flugelhttp://thestalkingmoon.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.com
