Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

Unlike others in reviewing this strange pair of films, I liked She-Wolf of London better than Werewolf Of London. Both are Ok, neither are great but the story of the she-wolf engrossed me. It is not a monster movie but a murder mystery but I enjoyed all performances and June Lockhart was very engaging as the troubled young woman. Werewolf of London is truly a monster movie. A man is attacked by a werewolf in Tibet and then brings it home to his family. Werewolves in this movie always try to kill the people he loves best so he is very rough on his wife.

WEREWOLF OF LONDON is a good movie in spite of Henry Hull's hammy acting style.The direction seems stagey at times but the story moves along at a reasonable pace. The werewolf is more of an extreme Jeckyl & Hyde character than what viewers may be used to but Jack Pierce's make-up is excellent in conveying an evil, fiendish appearance. The most memorable thing for me about the movie is that I think it may have the most soulful, dramatic and effective music score of any of the old Universal horror movies, and that's saying a lot. Karl Hajos is credited with the score. If you're so inclined, check out music clips from 1930s Universal horror films at Tony LoBue's Flash Gordon web site. As for She-Wolf of London, it should be called She-WOOF of London...
