I'd never heard of The Beast Must Die until a few weeks ago when I picked-up this newly reissued werewolf flick. Calvin Lockhart- key player in many urban/Blaxploitation films- stars as a rich hunter who has invited some guests over for a werewolf outing. It's Ten Little Indians with one of the guests baying at the full moon and Lockhart wants their hide. Peter Cushing is the only other cast member I recognized here. About 10 minutes before the movie ends, there's a 30 second werewolf break in which viewers are asked to guess who they believe the changling is. Very nice above-average werewolf flick, well, if like me you love this stuff.

The Werewolf (1956) Caught this little gem for the first time last night. The werewolf's origin lies in a wolf serum he was injected with by two doctors (one of whom delivers a preposterous hate-speech about the fate of mankind). The creature wrecks havok on a small mountain town but the townfolk aren't your basic werewolf flick morons. Because the beast isn't your typical lycanthrope, he can change to wolf form during the day, and that makes for some cool scenes. I'd never heard of any of the actors but the performances were great and the cinematography was excellent (filmed in glorious black & white).

My fave werewolf movies:

4. Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Azkaban - For as short as the beast actually made an appearance, it was probaly one of the best handlings of a man-wolf since An American Werewolf In London. What is it with these limey's that seem to make 'em respect this under-used mythical hybrid more than anyone else? Is it the warm Guiness or sumthin?

3. I Was A Teen-Age Werewolf - With all due respect to Michael J. Fox, this is how a teen-wolf should be depicted.

2. An American Werewolf In London - This guy wanted to be a Pepper too ( Sorry kids. I know that you most likely don't understand that comment, b'cuz it's before your time. Look it up on youtube if you don't wanna be left in the dark.
And the dark, by the way, is where werewolves like dwell).

1. The Wolfman - Just a plain ol' classic, this one is right there. I'm am a Huge fan of the original black & white Universal Monster series of way back in the day. Any datedness from these original gangstas of horror seemed to be fade with the integrity of the energy that was captured in the filming. I'm really looking forward to what they're gonna do with the the Benicio Del Toro adaptation. I was really glad that they didn't get him to look like the more wolf than man make-up that has become the standard for today. I still think that the modern look is cool an' all, but it doesn't need to be limited to one style. Despite the push that Hollywood has given movies like these as just empty escapist fare, the reality is, on a integral level, they're still an artform & thus should never be limited by any type of boxed labels.


"Criticism is the laziest form of expression ." - some deep dude.
