Watch Werewolf of London For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very Cool!!!

Thanks for the memories!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

For the next several days, I plan to review various movies about werewolves that I manage to find on YouTube, starting with this-the first mainstream one about them. Henry Hull travels to Tibet in search of a certain flower. While there, a creature bites into his arm. When he arrives home to England, he meets Warner Oland who claims to have met him previously in Tibet. Hull also has to deal with his wife and her friendship with an old friend who still fancies her. I'll stop there and just say this was quite a thrilling horror movie from the studio that glories in the genre: Universal. So on that note, Werewolf of London is highly recommended.

This was a decent film from the time. Don't get me wrong, if you're not a fan of this era of film-making it won't change your mind.The plot follows a lot of old movie tropes, but they are classic ones. There is an interesting twist in this, but I won't give it away. This film should be remembered for its importance in werewolf lore as it created a few key facts.Henry Hull does a fine performance as the titular werewolf. He can be selfish, demonstrating man's folly of knowing his limits and bringing his downfall, but also sympathetic because he isn't an evil person.There are a lot of comedic bits in this and they're pretty entertaining. A lot of credit should be the comic relief characters, because they're the most memorable parts of the film. Be sure to catch the part with the innkeeper and her friend.Overall, old movie fans will like this.

Preceding Universal's own The Wolf Man by a good 6 years (and the eponymous song by even more than that), Werewolf of London is a surprisingly nimble delight. It's brisk, sly and spattered with scenes of welcome comic relief. The central story is rather basic, a man transforming during the full moon to hunt the one he loves. This person being his wife, of course, whom he has neglected in order to pursue his studies, which ironically winds up saving her life.The main character isn't very sympathetic. He isn't redeemed in any real sense (he basically just apologizes on his death bed). There are some erratic scenes involving drunken revelry, adultery and carnivorous plants (that leads to this gem of a line, "Evolution was in a strange mood when that creation came long.") It's all pleasant in a passable matinée sense.And the makeup is quite good. As good as The Wolfman no matter what anyone tries to say, and honestly the lack of that old woman hairdo almost makes it better. The transformation scenes smartly use single takes with use of foregrounding and slight movements to cut between transitions to show the process in motion. It works surprisingly well (better than CGI even!).

This is quite an entertaining older werewolf film. It is quite different than any other movie on lycanthropy that I have seen. We've heard stories of when the wolfsbane (Aconitum) is in bloom the werewolves come out and to keep the werewolves away but this movies gives us a slightly different twist: it is the mariphasa flower that has properties to keep the werewolves from turning (it keeps them human during the full moon). I love this angle - it makes for a good film (watching the werewolves in human and lycan forms battle over the mariphasa).There is some humor in this film too which helps to keep the movie interesting like the sci-fi horror aspect of the film. Over all this is a fun werewolf movie! I recommend it to fans of werewolves and classic horror.An interesting note: "Werewolf of London" is considered to be the first film on or about werewolves by quite a number of people. In a way, "Werewolf of London" really is the first werewolf film BUT there are two other silent films that came first: "The Werewolf" (1913) & "Wolf Blood" (1925). "The Werewolf" (1913) is a lost film burned in a fire of 1924 - so there is no way for me to know just how much of a true werewolf film the story is - is it the first real werewolf film and not "Werewolf of London"?"Wolf Blood" (1925) deals with a man that is injected with the blood of a wolf and superstition has it that he has become a wolf man. I've seen "Wolf Blood" and it is the first surviving film about werewolves but it is psychological & superstitious fears and NOT a physical reality for the character. So in a way, this is a werewolf film and in another way it is not. "Werewolf of London" does seem to be the first film on werewolves where we can see a physical transformation from man to werewolf. (Again, we will never know about "The Werewolf" from 1913). 9/10
