Moon Of The Wolf Movie Review
Set in Louisiana, this 1972 made-for-television movie tells the tale of dead bodies popping up all over a small town. The authorities assume it's wild dogs doing the killing, but, as you may have suspected by the title--or at least the movie poster--it turns out to be a werewolf. So let me emphasize one thing once again--this is a made for the tele film...don't expect much action...or violence...or gore...you get the idea. This one feels like some strange blend of 1940s horror and a Hammer film--no doubt what they were going for--but with a distinct bayou feel. We sit through a LOT of nothing happening before the reveal is finally made, and when it is, our werewolf looks less like the one on the poster above and more like, well...
...this.
The acting is some bizarre swing from wooden to Wiseau-esque overacting--I'm looking at you, Geoffrey Lewis--and the script, based on a book, is some potion of pages torn from previous films. There is actually really nothing offensively bad about Moon of The Wolf...there's nothing particularly good about it either--I'd recommend it if you're having trouble getting to sleep at night.
