<I>Wolfen</I> is definitely the oddest and most socially conscious of the three big werewolf movies released in 1981 (the others were <I>The Howling</I> and <I>An American Werewolf in London</I>). Rumpled detective Albert Finney is investigating some brutal NYC murders, which leads him to discover that the collapsing buildings of the South Bronx are home to a pack of very vindictive wolflike creatures. American Indian mythology and environmental issues are more to the point here than silver-bullet lycanthropy. As a police procedural, the movie's a bust, its rhythms wrong and Finney's tortured Brooklyn accent unconvincing. But as a horror-mood piece, it can get under your skin. Some trippy photography, plus a bunch of interesting actors at the beginnings of their film careers (Diane Venora, Gregory Hines, and a lean and hungry Edward James Olmos), outweigh the druggy pace and period hairstyles. Director Michael Wadleigh (<I>Woodstock</I>) never made another feature. <I>--Robert Horton</I>
Viewer Reviews
i have to say i had high hopes for this flick. was i totally let down. while i liked the wolves killing people, i did not like how they added a indian type of theme to it. not my cup of tea. if you like werewolf movies and thinking that what you are going to get out of this one, don't buy it.
