I remember watching this quite a bit as a kid as it came on a lot on HBO and Showtime. There's old legends about how to tell someone is a werewolf, a unibrow is one of the signs, also their eyes reflect light like animals at night, and if their middle finger is shorter than the ring and index fingers so they seem to match in size.
Love this movie watched it on vhs back in the 80s and recently grabbed a dvd version, such a fun metaphor for puberty and a great horror story anthology.. great to watch a review on a little known classic..
An awesome video to make the day better, I had not known Angela Lansbury did a werewolf movie, but I can tell you that a lot of the things they mention in here are taken from real wold werewolf myths.
Did the inability of fans to come up with this during 10th anniversary trivia inspire this review? Note: I do believe Stephen Rea is pronounced Steven Ray but only because of repeated listens to the trailers for The Crying Game and Interview With The Vampire. Then again, American producers, trailer makers, and media have gotten names wrong before.
Interestingly enough I had already been working on this before the trivia stream. Got it, yeah certain names are pronounced in all sorts of different ways it seems. 😝
Folks hardly ever mention that this is based on a story by Angela Carter. It's from her book The Bloody Chamber. I love this movie and have since it first came out, but few people seem to be aware that it was written by a prominent feminist author.
I've never seen this movie but The Company of Wolves sounds like a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood and growing up I love that story so I'm definitely going to check this movie out because it's on AMC Plus
Wolfen is a great little horror film, an even better novel. The creatures in the novel/film are not traditional werewolves as they were more of an intelligent mutation, who have lived on the fringes of humanity and picked off our weak and vulnerable. They aren't ever human. It's mainly abridged ( the new version with the whole novel is over 8 hours on Audible, but this one gives you the highlights). Highly recommend: ua-cam.com/video/20gfwQrrGZ4/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

I remember some of those characteristics too from books I'd read as a kid.
@@DiceRollen We've probably read the same books. 😃
@@DikaWolf That's entirely possible 😄

Loved this creepy fairytale coming of age film based on short stories by Angela Carter.
Didn't mind this film. Great review as always 😊🐾💜👍👋
Hell yeah I remember that flick. Angela Lansbury is a legend, I forgot about this one.
It’s been a favorite for years and years!!! My friends and I watched it every week when we were in high school. Obsessed! Lived the story too!

Thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and discovered a new werewolf film.
I've seen it, many times in fact. Love it. It's so dream like and unique.
Agreed, it stands out with its style and storytelling.

It's strongly based on Red Riding Hood and Grimm's Fairy Tales, I recommend checking it out.
@@DiceRollen I'm planning on watching it as soon as I plug up my television and program it
Alright, something I can live by" this dude is hairy on the inside"
That's not true I watched ... I just got confused by it. Though it does have some great effects.
That's fair 😆
I think if you're a fan of Danielle Dax, you heard of this film for sure.
I've seen it. Not a fan. Not sure why but I just found it dull. I think Wolfen is a pretty underrated werewolf movie.

Most people i know have seen it,its hardly a rare movie
Perhaps not rare, just hardly talked about. In my experience at least.
