...a 1935 thriller that's one of the most well-crafted and polished suspense movies of the era. The plot blends new components of the werewolf 'legend' with some science-fictional elements.

The combination of uninspiring leads and a somewhat half-hearted script makes it tough going, even at a trim 75 minutes.

A horror film that would have been better with someone else in the lead. Still, it's a classic.
