Best movie ever!
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
I saw the American dub of this terrible film. Whether it's less terrible in its original Spanish, I have no idea. Regardless, I cannot imagine it being much better!The film is a strange melange of disparate ideas that don't seem like they should be in the same movie. As far as the wolfman in the title goes, he's in the beginning and the end but in the middle he's kind of forgotten. This portion is about an insane notion of a scientist and you wonder how dumb ANY research assistant could be who works for her. After all, her research is done on living people who are kept shackled up in a dungeon in a castle...in the 1970s! The fact she turned out to be insane certainly should have come as no surprise to any one! But the goofy plot isn't the big reason the film is terrible. In the English language version, the dubbing is pretty bad and the dialog sometime really awful. The sound effects for the werewolf are also unintentionally hilarious. Finally, the music really is NOT appropriate for a horror film. Overall, it's a film that you could understand why it's fallen into the public domain--no one would want to claim ownership over it! Silly, dumb and ridiculous.
the story was decent enough,, the acting okay. The major problem I had with this movie is that it moved at a snails pace, like you couldn't wait for it to be over. our story goes something like this.. a man comes back from the mountains in Tibet and somehow he is the only one affected, he is cursed with a pentagram of the werewolf. so upon his return he finds out that his wife has been cheating on him,, well after promptly disposing of her, he is captured by a mad female scientist , she used all sorts of stuff on him and her many other prisoners there, she tries to control his brain and do whatever she likes.. an interesting side bit for me was the relationship between the mad woman's assistant and her boyfriend who is investigating the whole mess. it's not nowewhere near the most wretched thing I ever seen just way to slow for my tastes.
You may have seen the cheap cut American version of "Fury of the Wolfman". The uncut version may not satisfy you, but at least we see it all.This is the fourth in the series, but there is a continuity problem with that, and within the film itself. It seems to jump around with no logic, but that can be attributed to all the problems this film had with writing, editing, and direction.Maybe it would help to regard it in the tradition of Dali and Luis Buñuel, and consider it a surrealistic classic. There is weird science, failed experiments locked in a basement, and a doctor (Perla Cristal) who apparently wants to be ravaged by a wolfman.Her assistant, Karen (Verónica Luján), also has her designs set upon Daninsky. Is it love, love that will allow her to kill the wolfman? Not great, but not bad.
This movie is stuffed full of stock Horror movie goodies: chained lunatics, pre-meditated murder, a mad (vaguely lesbian) female scientist with an even madder father who wears a mask because of his horrible disfigurement, poisoning, spooky castles, werewolves (male and female), adultery, slain lovers, Tibetan mystics, the half-man/half-plant victim of some unnamed experiment, grave robbing, mind control, walled up bodies, a car crash on a lonely road, electrocution, knights in armour - the lot, all topped off with an incredibly awful score and some of the worst Foley work ever done.The script is incomprehensible (even by badly dubbed Spanish Horror movie standards) and some of the editing is just bizarre. In one scene where the lead female evil scientist goes to visit our heroine in her bedroom for one of the badly dubbed: "That is fantastical. I do not understand. Explain to me again how this is..." exposition scenes that litter this movie, there is a sudden hand held cutaway of the girl's thighs as she gets out of bed for no apparent reason at all other than to cover a cut in the bad scientist's "Mwahaha! All your werewolfs belong mine!" speech. Though why they went to the bother I don't know because there are plenty of other jarring jump cuts all over the place - even allowing for the atrocious pan and scan of the print I saw.The Director was, according to one interview with the star, drunk for most of the shoot and the film looks like it. It is an incoherent mess. It's made even more incoherent by the inclusion of werewolf rampage footage from a different film The Mark of the Wolf Man (made 4 years earlier, featuring the same actor but playing the part with more aggression and with a different shirt and make up - IS there a word in Spanish for "Continuity"?) and more padding of another actor in the wolfman get-up ambling about in long shot.The music is incredibly bad varying almost at random from full orchestral creepy house music, to bosannova, to the longest piano and gong duet ever recorded. (Thinking about it, it might not have been a duet. It might have been a solo. The piano part was so simple it could have been picked out with one hand while the player whacked away at the gong with the other.) This is one of the most bewilderedly trance-state inducing bad movies of the year so far for me. Enjoy.Favourite line: "Ilona! This madness and perversity will turn against you!" How true.Favourite shot: The lover, discovering his girlfriend slain, dropping the candle in a cartoon-like demonstration of surprise. Rank amateur directing there.
