This is an interesting variation on the usual werewolf theme and Wadleigh's first film since _Woodstock_. Good acting (especially from Hines in his screen debut as a jivey coroner), imaginative photography, and well-done gore (including a supremely realistic decapitation) make this sometimes slow, overlong "Thinking Man's" monster movie worth watching.

One of the few GOOD werewolf movies out there

Out of all the things wrong with this movie, its worst offence is doubtlessly its condescending, new agey bowel movement of a script, which I'm certain was written down on blocks of tofu. "Blah blah blah indians, great spirits, the slaughter of nature, wolfs... majestic wolf, I have windchimes in my pubic hairs and they lull me off to a world of beautyful dreams" Yeah. Fuck this film. Horror? You're doing it wrong.

I liked the idea of urban werewolves, and I thought both Finney and Gregory Hines were both very good in this.

Half silly and half profound and half good.

Interesting approach to the werewolf story, with some pseudo-mystical elements. Finney is excellent.

Interesting, but rather plodding version of the werewolf myth directed by, interestingly enough, the director of Woodstock.

good story, very dated execution.

Not bad.
