Good concept, poorly executed.
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
The movie (aka Lycanthropus) is not downright horrible - it's kinda interesting in it's own way and to be honest it's the mystery aspect of this film that really fairly good. I had a bad copy of the movie to watch and had to miss some of the film because of it - but I did see enough of it to talk about it and to tell you if you like older lesser known B-rated horror and mystery films then you might like this movie.The English voice dubs are good - and you really do not notice all that much that the movie is dubbed from Italian to English.Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory is aka in English as Ghoul in a Girl's Dormitory, Monster Among the Girls, I Married a Werewolf, The Ghoul in School and by it's original title Lycanthropus. So if you want to watch the film you have all the English titles to look up to find the film.4/10
This is one of those older "awesomely bad" type of movies. Pretty cheesy, and the dubbing seems to add to the cheesiness factor, but overall it's not the worst film out there. It does keep you guessing, slightly, but it's not that enthralling. I find it more comical than gripping.What's scarier than the werewolf terrorizing these girls in their reform school (who look to be in their mid-twenties, but the audience is made to assume they are teenagers)? The professors. These men are all sleazy! They're trading favors for sexual engagements with the girls, and not a word is mentioned about how this is probably not the best way to conduct a reform school for "troubled girls." If you have about 85 minutes to spare, this is a mildly entertaining film, and it's good for a bit of a laugh.
This isn't Jack Nicholson or Benicio Del Toro's wolf-man. it isn't even close to Paul Naschy's beast. This one doesn't even have a werewolf face, and only scratches the victims. Maybe that is why they changed the title from Werewolf to Ghoul.But, to see one of the early classics is still worth the time.It is more of a mystery, as Mary (Mary McNeeran) is blackmailing a professor (Maurice Marsac) with some old letters. She is the first victim. Is the professor the killer, or the new teacher (Carl Schell) in school? Priscilla (Barbara Lass) comes into possession of the letters and tries to find out who killed her friend. (NOTE: Lass was briefly married to Roman Polanski, and, believe it or not, this is one of her best roles in a long career.)Several murder and several suspects. Who is the ghoul in the girl's dormitory?
Just last week, I finished reading Guy Endore's classic 1933 novel "The Werewolf of Paris," a highly intelligent, insightful look at this legendary creature of modern-day folklore. Last night I watched the 1961 Italian/Austrian coproduction "Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory," a film that is hardly classic, overly intelligent or insightful, but that did come as a nice treat for me anyway. To my great surprise, this is not the teenage lycanthrope panty raid that I had been expecting, or the camp fest that the title would lead one to anticipate. The film deals with a series of brutal murders in a young women's reformatory school in what is supposed to be the U.S. but feels distinctly European. To its credit, the movie boasts some pretty creepy atmosphere, effective music, very passable B&W photography, and very decent acting (although it's hard to tell for sure about that last with the terrible dubbing). It feels like a cross between a monster flick and an early Italian "giallo," with a dash of mystery thrown in. Who IS the werewolf? Is it the new, hunky blond professor with a secret in his past? The lecherous old teacher who's being blackmailed by one of the students? Or howzabout the Igor-like, handicapped handyman? Most viewers will never guess; I know I didn't! The Maltin book inexplicably gives this film its lowest "BOMB" rating, but I think the editors there are being way too harsh. Although "Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory" is nothing great, it still deserves some respect for the effective and well-put-together thriller that it is.
