Rating: - Moon of the Wolf
Good old fashion werewolf movie, with a touch of mystery. Who is the werewolf in this small Southern town? The Sheriff(David Jensen) must try to keep a lid on the hysteria of the locals, and deal with the ultra rich who have controlled the town for generations. His best friend the town doctor is a prime suspect, and he is falling in love with the local rich man's (Bradford Dillman)sister (Barbara Rush). Bradford doesn't want such a common man like the sheriff as a brother in law. The hunt is on as more and more locals are torn to pieces, before the sheriff can believe there really can be something ... Read More
Rating: - A CHILLING SOUTHERN GOTHIC
Based on the novel of the same name by author Les Whitten, MOON OF THE WOLF is a surprisingly well-crafted made-for-TV thirller from the 70s. Now available in a number of video versions, this is a little-known but quite serviceable production of some merit. Set in the isolated Louisiana marshland, the story revolves around the local Sheriff's efforts to uncover the truth behind a young girl's mysterious and grisly death. Was she killed by wild dogs, or by an ex-lover's revenge? Acting is very good all-around, with David Janssen well-cast as the no-nonsense but likeable sheriff and Barbara Rush as the ... Read More
Rating: - "Tonight on the A.B.C. Monday night movie"
Yeap,found another of the movies I loved as a kid. Well in truth I've had this one for years(and many times over, I have it in at least four different mega movie packs),bit this is the best copy I have of this corny but effective "Werewolf" chiller from the 70's.
David Janssen(the Original "Fugitive" and a long time favorite of mine) leads the cast as a southern sheriff looking into a rash of killings in his town. There is a level of carnage about the killings that points more toward an animal than a man.
Nothing great here to be sure,but it does have a very sinister feel about the ... Read More
Rating: - Bradford Dillman As The Amish-Cajun Loup-Garou!
If my title makes no sense to you, then you are mentally prepared to see this movie. (If it does, I suggest professional help at once.) This 1972 made for TV stinker stars the normally respectable David Janssen as a sheriff in a backwater Louisiana town trying to track a savage killer.
The story starts with the murder of a girl, and false leads abound: she was pregnant by one guy, smuggling drugs for another, romantically involved with a third, etc. Despite the small town soap opera, David Janssen makes an arrest, but finds he has the wrong guy when the arrestee and a deputy are savagely killed. ...

Rating: - forgotten little gem
moon of the wolf came at a time when t.v. horror films were common and generally good.Because t.v.limited the amount of explicit gore,they had to develop character and atmosphere.
Moon of the wolf delivers on both counts and therefore becomes a tight,scary chiller.The climax being genuinely frightening.
The film also benefits from being filmed on location in louisiana and soaks up the creole/cajun feel with a good dose of southern decay.
the acting is first rate and the direction stays on target.
If your looking for a good horror film,look no further.
