Upon his return to his father's estate, aristocrat Larry Talbot meets a beautiful woman, attends a mystical carnival and uncovers a horrifying curse.
this is one of the first films to have a werewolf at the center of its floor, and you have to give it respect as the film is well made with a legendary cast
Unfortunately, even at only 70 minutes, it gets right to the point and manages to tell a story though it just doesn’t feel that strong
I thought this was the first time I ever seen this film, but checking my files. I realized I had seen this film only a few years before, and it completely slipped my mind.
so for me, this film is memorable. It might be a case of. I was born later and have seen many werewolf movies that use similar premise, but were more memorable. Only here we’re getting what the basics of all those other tales were and simplest form by the time and trying to tell, entertaining an emotional story
It’s not a bad film and can understand why it has its fans, but is a concert reminder that just because it’s first doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best but it pave the way for the others so you have to give it a certain amount of respect
But if you already know, you’re really not into black-and-white classic horror films. This might be one you wanna skip as it’s never quite a strong as Dracula or Frankenstein or the ultimate bride of Frankenstein.
and the film doesn’t present itself as some kind of the movie that was more made to fit a fad or rushed out with little care the film it’s requirements as far as entertaining the audience, but actually showcasing emotions and characters, owning up to their decisions and choices in certain moments
