This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This is scarier then The Exorcist. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. More people need to see this movie. People who like horror stories will like this movie. Fury of the wolf man will scary you out of your mind. If you are looking for a really scary movie see this movie.
Shot in 1970 but not released until two years later, THE FURY OF THE WOLFMAN is one of the entries in the long-running Spanish series of 'Waldemar Daninsky' werewolf movies starring Paul Naschy. Unfortunately, it's one of the lesser affairs, mainly down to dodgy direction that results from a drunken director being allowed full control of the proceedings. As a result, the film is badly edited; has often risible dialogue; uses copious footage from earlier Naschy films and is generally poorly-filmed, especially in the action scenes. Compare this film with its sequel, WEREWOLF SHADOW, by the reliable and eminently stylish director Leon Klimovsky, and you'll notice a world of difference.Still, as a bad film it has plenty of interest, especially for the increasingly ludicrous plot ingredients. Not content with merely having a werewolf as the film's central character, the elements of this film's brew incorporate a mad female scientist (shades of LADY FRANKENSTEIN here), a cellar full of freaks and weirdos; a crazy killer guy who wears a Phantom of the Opera mask; a guy in a suit of armour (!) plus the usual torrid adultery and werewolf rampage. The film's nudity was cut for the American market, but the gore remains, including a nasty bit where a victim is burnt alive and bleeds to death at the same time (actually nicked from an earlier flick).There's some fun to be had from the 'monster team-up' moments, especially the climax, where Daninsky tackles his undead-cum-werewolf wife, but Jose Maria Zabalza's shoddy direction even makes these moments less than enthralling. It's a shame, because Perla Cristal is an icy villainess, Veronica Lujan is a lovely love interest, and Paul Naschy is as commendable as ever. Best to give this one a miss and check out some of the better entries in the series; the two films after this one, WEREWOLF SHADOW and CURSE OF THE DEVIL, are a good place to start
"While traveling in the mountains, a man is attached by a mysterious creature that promptly departs, leaving no trace of its presence. Unbeknownst to the man, he has been attacked by a werewolf and now he's inherited the curse associated with such creatures. Now our hero must race against time to rid himself of this dreadful affliction before the next full moon," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.Horrifically re-produced from the original Spanish, "The Fury of the Wolf Man" loses whatever charms it may have possessed in its original form. Lycanthropic Paul Naschy's werewolf characterization is uneven and ineffectual. Dominatrix scientist Perla Cristal and sexy assistant Verónica Luján never get close enough to truly titillate. The often incoherent storyline isn't even ghoulishly amusing.
This is quite a graphically violent and explicit film. It's much more graphic than I expected. It's not really a werewolf movie. There are violent attacks where throats are ripped out, but it doesn't really have the supernatural element we might expect. This is a case study of a woman who has been so badly abused that she loses her sense of self and strikes out against all men. Even when things begin to go well, it's as if she has been singled out for some kind of demonic punishment. Unfortunately, many others suffer her wrath, some deserving, others not. The scenes are pretty explicit and ugly. This is one of those movies that kind of grabs you but it's more like going to an auto wreck than something desirable. It's not badly made and moves pretty well. Be forewarned, however, that it isn't for all tastes. Once again, with a little budget and some better editing, it could have worked better. The werewolf transition scenes aren't too bad.
