Hammer Horror – The Curse Of The Werewolf Reviews
“A literate and respectful addition to the lycanthrope canon, generating enormous sympathy for its characters and even taking digs at the abuses heaped upon the working class by the 1%.” – Creative Loafing
“Lon Chaney, Jr.'s Wolf Man may be cinema's most famous lycanthrope, but there can be little doubt that this 1960 film from Hammer Productions is the best werewolf movie ever made.” – ESplatter
“The Curse of the Werewolf is one of Hammer’s better and more interesting horror films. Thought it is slow, the movie provides a different take on werewolves. I like this and encounter fans of the genre to seek it out. With a great collection of films, even in a multipack, Hammer often delivers and The Curse of the Werewolf is a winner.” – Basement Rejects
