The Curse of the Werewolf

The Curse of the Werewolf is Hammer's only werewolf film, and it's a real mini epic - the ninety minute runtime spectacularly incorporates a story spanning over several decades. The first act is a brilliantly conceived origin story for the werewolf itself. The whole…

It hurts giving a Hammer movie such a low score, but I just didn’t care for The Curse of the Werewolf at all.  For the most part, it’s incredibly dull. The first half is all meaningless backstory. And the last half isn’t much better. There isn’t any werewolf action until…
