Werewolf of London

The subject matter itself with the flowers blooming under moonlight and the whole exotic exposition at the beginning of the film hold a lot of promise, but everything is weakened by the excessive dialogue of unnecessary supporting characters (particularly the two old alcoholic women) later in the film and the complete absence of a nighttime London backdrop, which could have been beautifully built upon. Werewolf of London is more of an interior chamber play, which wouldn’t matter if its dramatic depth hadn’t been diminished by both the aforementioned extraneous dialogue and the equally incomprehensible presence of humor.

Why on earth didn’t I study botany? I could have traveled to exotic climbs, interacted with mystical creatures and beautiful women, drunk gin with alcoholic old ladies with an absurdly black humor view of life and experienced nighttime life with the full moon in London. But, thanks to Universal I realized mistake in time. And now I’m going to sign up for a gardening course, at least. (13/03/2008)

Werewolf in London is really just a nice mainstream movie; it doesn't have a completely bad werewolf mask, but it doesn't stand out significantly in this regard either. The film aimed to entertain audiences in theaters, which it probably succeeded in doing. It hasn't lost much of its humor even today. It lost everything from its horror aspect, though, which I think is quite a shame because werewolf movies also deserve to evoke fear in viewers. (02/12/2016)
