      Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand [T]he first werewolf film from the studio that made 'Dracula' and 'Frankenstein' into cinema sensations, falls in the shadow of the later 1941 hit 'The Wolf Man.' You might say it’s a different animal ... Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy An intermittently captivating snapshot of the road not taken towards a more scientific and urbane werewolf genre than the one we ultimately got. Rated: 6/10 Jun 4, 2015 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion An abstracted-husband fable to go with the anxious-bachelor comedy of Mamoulian's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Apr 3, 2011 Full Review Mark Bourne DVDJournal.com ...a 1935 thriller that's one of the most well-crafted and polished suspense movies of the era. The plot blends new components of the werewolf 'legend' with some science-fictional elements. Apr 5, 2006 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 19, 2005 Full Review Michael W. Phillips, Jr. Goatdog's Movies The combination of uninspiring leads and a somewhat half-hearted script makes it tough going, even at a trim 75 minutes. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 4, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      Andy F A fantastic but often overlooked Universal horror. The first ever Werewolf film is sparkling with originality, tension and memorable dialogue. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Valerii Ege D Interestingly, 35 and 41 versions end with the same dialogue. The funny thing also, none of the versions realized how deadly is a Werewolf. In both movies, the werewolf tries to strangle its prey. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Steve D The only problem is the unconvincing acting. The story is solid for its time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Liam D Universal's First Werewolf movie is an haunting and underrated thriller with some great makeup even to this day Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/22 Full Review justin t Ignoring filmmaking limitations of the time it was made, this is still an intensely boring film. I can't think of a film where less happens. Luckily the movie Carnivore: Werewolf of London (2017) doesn't seem to have taken inspiration from the 1935 dull-a-thon. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review georgan g The ORIGINAL werewolf! The makeup is not as fancy as later films re a werewolf but fun to watch.
