…a big, meaty studio film with lots to say about how the worship of money turns us against each other…

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 30, 2023

Wolfen is not a werewolf movie. Exactly what it is I'm not sure, but don't let my uncertainty put you off what is, for the most part, an enjoyable film.

A crime-thriller-style plot with elements of a police procedural that makes a statement about the plight of Native Americans specifically in big urban centres.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 7, 2019

The werewolf movie was revived and reworked with a vengeance in 1981 and Wolfen (1981) was a far more radical take on the genre than An American Werewolf in London or The Howling, though not as popular as either.

The often muddled, but scary Wolfen tops The Howling and An American Werewolf in London as the best of 1981's three worthwhile lupine thrillers.

Half silly and half profound.

Sets up its mysteries with an admirable tenacity, though the resolution we're ultimately offered is more than a bit forgettable.
