Moon of the Wolf

It's a TV movie, so people have to stand around overly lit sets for an hour talking until anything interesting can happen. I hate this movie.

A really cheap looking, '70s made for TV horror mystery that was short of horror. The werewolf was pretty disappointing once it was shown and it made me think that not only was it not worth the wait but that it would've been better if that had not shown it at all.

Way too slow for a werewolf movie.

I'm a sucker for mysteries, so I stayed interested in this film until the last act, which is when the werewolf actually showed up. The use of the first-person perspective and the poor werewolf costuming/makeup took me right out of the film. The werewolf ended up looking like a hipster (sans glasses) who might have an NPR show, and he was just as easy to beat up. Points go to the supporting cast, though, who played excellent yokels.

Not a bad way to spend the evening if you dig this sort of thing.

Interesting attempt at making a realistic werewolf movie, played more like a murder mystery than a horror movie. Suffers from predictability (I mean, the title alone pretty much gives it away, and then we just sit there waiting for the wolf to appear) and being a little too linear, but not bad.

Very '70s TV movie... and an excellent example of how "horror television" is usually an oxymoron. Talky, dull, many squandered opportunities in the material to write something actually interesting, characters who behave like idiots, hokey werewolf makeup, etc., etc.

I can't remember if they even show a werewolf in this poop. Not a complete waste of time, however.
