Truly Dreadful Film
Humaira Grant
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is scarier then The Exorcist. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. More people need to see this movie. People who like horror stories will like this movie. Fury of the wolf man will scary you out of your mind. If you are looking for a really scary movie see this movie.

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.

Inferior entry about Werewolf with the unforgettable Waldemar Daninsky-Jacinto Molina , under pseudonym Paul Naschy . The king of Spanish terror cinema as immortal Wolfman Waldemar Daninsky in this lousy entry . Third time in which Waldemar stricken by ancient curse that turns into Werewolf at the full moon . Waldemar , the notorious adventurer scientist joins a journey accompanied by friends , all of them to find the mythic Yeti in the Himalayas . Paul Naschy is transformed into a werewolf when an annoyed Yeti attacks and bite him . While on the expedition , with the crew who accompanied him disappeared . Daninsky looks desperately for a cure as he has had a werewolf curse cast upon him . If he doesn't get rid of it, he turns into a killer werewolf when the moon is full . He finds out that the pentagram mark on his chest might function as a sign of what ails him , and Daninsky asks for help to fellow scientific , Dr. Ilona (Perla Cristal as mad she-doctor ) and famous for her innovative experiments in the control of the human mind . Later on , Waldemar learns through an unnamed source that his spouse , Erika( Zorrilla) is having an affair with another man . What he doesn't know is that the couple are secretly scheming to murder him , tampering with the brakes causing a car crash when his vehicle to hit a tree . While not dead, Daninsky seeks the help of Ilona , who will exploit his unfortunate lycanthrope condition for her own experiments on the human brain . Then , Daninsky escapes and accidentally electrocutes himself on a fallen power line . Ilona will later dig up his undead corpse , forcing him to do her will , with assistant-student Karen (Verónica Luján) resisting her teacher's philosophies falling for the victimized Daninsky . Waldemar is locked into Ilona's castle, a place where many crazy patients are held in chains. Meantime , Karen's boyfriend, journalist Williams (Miguel De la Riva) will unite forces with detective Miller to discover the one responsible for the rash of killings and werewolf attacks plaguing the community . While Waldemar goes on a murderous rampage every time the moon is full and unleashing the werewolf from his chains to terrorize innocents round abouts .Continental Europe's biggest horror star again with his classic character and horrifying to viewer . Jacinto Molina Aka Paul Naschy ,who recently passed away, was actor,screenwriter and director of various film about the personage based on fictitious character, the Polish count Waldemar Daninsky . The first entry about Waldemar was ¨The mark of the Wolfman (1967)¨ by Enrique Eguiluz , it was such a box office hit that Jacinto went on filming successive outings as ¨Night of Walpurgis¨, ¨Fury of the Wolfman¨ , ¨Doctor Jekill and the Wolfman¨ , and once again¨The return of the Walpurgis¨, ¨Howl of the devil¨. After ¨The craving¨ it was such a box office disaster that Jacinto was bankrupt. He was forced to turn to Japan for making artist documentaries, as he filmed 'Madrid Royal Palace and Museum of Prado' and he gets financing from Japanese producers for ¨The human beasts¨, the first co-production Spanish-Japan and followed ¨The beast and the magic sword(1982)¨ that is filmed in Japan and for the umpteenth time ¨Licantropo(1998) and finally even directed by Fred Olen Ray in ¨Tomb of the Werewolf(2004) with Michelle Bauer.It's a B series entertainment with abundant sensationalistic scenes and a Naif style and plenty of flaws and gaps .The movie has a bit of ridiculous gore with loads of blood similar to tomato and is occasionally an engaging horror movie full of fights, curses, and several other things. This time Paul Nashy/Jacinto Molina exhibits little breast but he was a weightlifting champion. Here Waldemar takes on a mad doctor , freaks and a werewolf in some moving fighting scenes. Pretty slow going, but hang in there for the struggle Daninsky versus another she-wolf . Very bad cinematography by Leopoldo Villaseñor is accompanied by a lousy remastering . Filmed in Manzanares and Navacerrada, Madrid and Talamanca De Jarama, location in which were shot most part these horror movies. Eerie and atmospheric musical score by Angel Arteaga, saga's usual .The motion picture written by Naschy is absurdly directed by Jose Maria Zabalza and regularly played by Jacinto Molina , a slick craftsman and mediocre actor . The flick will appeal to Paul Naschy fans and terror genre enthusiast.

Mess of cobbled together ideas and scenes(..some scenes directly lifted another previous El Hombre Lobo film to pad this movie)with corny background music, abysmal camera-work(..I read elsewhere that the director was drunk a lot during filming, and it shows), static direction(..with so many things tossed at the viewer, you'd think it wouldn't be as slow and uninvolving as it is), and full of soap opera-style melodramatics, yet overall I still found individual things from the film I enjoyed.Revered professor/scientist Waldemar Daninsky(Paul Naschy)is supposedly bitten by a werewolf in Tibet(..idea obviously lifted from Univeral's "Werewolf in London")while on an expedition, with the crew who accompanied him vanished. He finds that the pentagram mark on his chest might work as a sign of what ails him, and Daninsky goes to fellow scientist, Dr. Ilona Elmann(Perla Cristal)noted for her provocative experiments in the control of the human brain. Waldemar finds out through an unnamed source that his wife, Erika(Pilar Zorrilla)is having an affair with a man named Nevell(Fabián Conde). What he doesn't know is that the couple are secretly plotting to kill him, tampering with the brakes causing his car to hit a tree. While not dead, Daninsky seeks the help of Ilona, who will exploit his unfortunate lycanthrope condition for her own mind control experiments. Unleashing the werewolf from his chains to terrorize innocents round abouts, Daninsky accidentally electrocutes himself on a fallen power line. Ilona will later dig up his undead corpse, forcing him to do her will, with assistant/student Karen(the lovely Verónica Luján)resisting her teacher's philosophies falling for the victimized Daninsky. Karen's boyfriend, reporter Williams(Mark Stevens)will join forces with detective Miller(Miguel de la Riva)to find out the one responsible for the rash of murders and werewolf attacks plaguing the community(Ilona sends Daninsky, in werewolf form, to murder his wife and her lover). Ilona, with a reluctant Karen in tow, will continue their experiments in the notorious Dr. Wolfstein's castle, a place where many insane patients are held locked in chains, humans are harvested as plants(!), and possibly even the supposedly dead owner of the place himself walking amongst them. We will see that Ilona is a mastermind behind everything that has taken place and that her ability of hypnotic mind control is being used for criminal and immoral purposes. And, the secret of her birth rite is revealed..Such a convoluted mess as the synopsis I wrote above does yield some things I found entertaining. The old-school werewolf look of Daninsky is still my favorite next to Pierce's Univeral creation. The attacks often feature gaping flesh wounds and are often bloody. I loved Perla Cristal in the role of mad scientist, even if the character's methods are a bit unorthodox and often just plain silly(..although, she's certainly insane, so perhaps despite being a scientific genius, Ilona is not operating within a full capacity). I especially enjoyed the scene where Ilona whips Daninsky, in werewolf form, seemingly relishing the opportunity to do so..and having full command of what is taking place, demented as the situation is, Cristal displays the drunk power underneath brooding. Verónica Luján is simply the eye candy, as Daninsky's ally. There's a plot twist concerning Daninsky's condition and the affair which brought out the vicious werewolf attack on Erika and Nevell, which I found a bit out of the blue and bonkers, that just explains how out-of-control Naschy's screenplay is. Couple all this will excerpts of Daninsky's werewolf(..in a different colored shirt practically screaming at the viewer that this was from another movie)spliced into "Fury of the Werewolf" and you have an unholy affair which produces uneven results.
