Werewolf Classic
A New York cop (Albert Finney) investigates a series of brutal deaths that resemble animal attacks. Tom Noonan and his beard guest star in a key role.

The film is known for its early use of an in-camera effect to portray the subjective point of view of a wolf. Similar to thermography, the technique was later adopted by other horror films such as the “Predator” film series.

Although considered a modern werewolf classic, Roger Ebert asserted Wolfen “is not about werewolves but is about the possibility that Indians and wolves can exchange souls.” Well, yeah, that is true… but it is still werewolves, even if not in the traditional sense.

Where is the proper release? This is what people want to know. Apparently the director has a preferred cut, but instead all we get is a bare bones Blu-ray with nothing more than a trailer. Surely there is much more that could be done.

A New York Cop submerges himself in the mythology of the werewolf to hunt a serial killer
Here’s one you’ll rarely see the likes of ever again, an urban horror story based on Native American mythology that sends us a message about mankind’s selfish destruction of nature. Sounds boring doesn’t it? It’s not. In fact it’s actually a very thoughtful, suspenseful and instinctive horror film based around a moral rather than trying to force feed you someone else’s ideals.

Wolfen sets about with the murder of a very wealthy architect businessman and his girlfriend in a New York City park. From what we gather, this is no human but some sort of creature with very sharp teeth or claws.

Enter lonely, weary and tragic detective Dewey Wilson, portrayed by brilliant Irish actor Albert Finney. He’s assigned to the more gruesome cases and his closest friend and the closest thing to a partner he has is criminal pathologist Whittington, played by the late charmer Gregory Hines.

Together they stumble upon several leads that begin to pose the question whether what is stalking the streets is a man who thinks he’s a werewolf or something unquestionably supernatural, as the Native American Indians working on the skyscrapers want to have Wilson believe.

There are a number of factors that work in Wolfen’s favour and as I always pointed out, one large factor is that this film’s visual effects were stolen some six years later by a certain director by the name of John McTiernan. That film, where we saw from the killer’s eyes as he stalked his prey was none other than Predator.

This is a serial killer crime thriller with a huge twist and part of that twist is that the film is so well made that no matter how far fetched it may seem, you truly understand it and enjoy it.

The old decayed and abandoned New York is the majority setting for Wolfen, which suits its style to the ground and provides some chilling moments, especially as Albert Finney portrays one of the most unhealthy and out of shape detectives ever devoted to lead character. It’s refreshing to see an older film like this where talent overrides appearance.

James Horner (Aliens, Enemy At The Gates, Troy) provides the chilling old-school orchestral soundtrack, which really sets the scenes on edge and the dialogue is all original, making the characters all very believable and down to earth.

I can’t compare this film to any other but I highly recommend it!
