Reviews for The Curse of the Werewolf
Lon Chaney, Jr.'s Wolf Man may be cinema's most famous lycanthrope, but there can be little doubt that this 1960 film from Hammer Productions is the best werewolf movie ever made.
Directed by famed horror filmmaker and Hammer favorite, Terence Fisher, this slow-moving tale never quite works.
