Worst Horror Film By Amicus?

Possibly the worst horror movie by Amicus!

Funny, I saw this movie about two years ago. I have my tivo at home to record anything with “Peter Cushing” (of course) and my wife and I watched this very cheesy late sixties early seventies movie that sounds just like this one.

Horror Guy Says:
Only if it’s on tv, and your not shelling out for it!

Black Werewolf [Region 2]
Customer Review: It’s not over ’till ya pull that trigger boy
This is a landmark movie for a number of reasons; 1. It is the WORST werewolf movie of all time 2. It is the WORST Amicus movie of all time 3. Its is the WORST film Peter Cushing ever made- although he is still good in it. Amicus have produced some great genre pictures throughout the 60’s and 70’s. The House the Dripped Blood and City of the Dead are two of my personal favorites. In their hayday Amicus made brilliant films under the direction of many of Englands finest genre directors such as John Moxely and Roy Ward Barker (a Hammer regular). This film isn’t fun, isn’t entertaining, contains lackluster direction and a ’star’ who hams it up and chews through his scenes like a galloping Elephant. Oh, and the ‘wolf’ is literally a dog with a wig. “That’s allright i bet your thinking. The director was probably clever and shot it with inventive camera angles/clever lighting and edited the film carefully so that you never see too much.” WRONG. It looks like a dog wearing a wig. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS!!!! If you want to see a good english horror film then go watch City of the Dead, Circus of Fear, The Wicker Man, Scars of Dracula…infact pretty much anything!

Customer Review: Loved Peter Cushing . . .
but hated this movie. What a silly premise - a big game hunter getting together people who happened to be in the vicinity of mutilation attacks on humans - and then he tells them that one of them is a werewolf and that he’s going to kill it!!!??? Then, one by one each guest is systematically killed. The movie could have ended 1 hour earlier (I think it’s 1 hour 30 minutes long), and had the same, tiring outcome. Very monotonous, and tedious. I wouldn’t recommend it.
