Quick Hit

The Curse of the Werewolf has a clean hook and enough craft to carry the premise, which keeps it comfortably above water. More hit than miss, and that counts.

Full Take

There’s a real hook here, but the follow-through decides the damage. When the rhythm drags or the trick is obvious, it starts leaking air fast. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s enough to push it into SOLID.
