Dread by the Decade: Cry of the Werewolf

👻 You can support me on Ko-fi! ❤️

★

Plot: A Romani woman shapeshifts into a wolf to kill anyone who might discover her people's secrets.

Review: Convoluted and born from harmful stereotypes about Romani people, this film has nothing to add to the werewolf genre.

Year: 1944 Genre: Werewolves Country: United States Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 3 minutes

Director: Henry Levin Writers: Griffin Jay, Charles O'Neal Cinematographer: L. William O'Connell Editor: Reg Browne Cast: Stephen Crane, Osa Massen, Nina Foch, Barton MacLane, Fritz Leiber

-----

Story: 1/5 - Dry, racist, and nonsensical. Characters' motives are inscrutable at points, and the werewolf lore is dull.

Performances: 1.5/5 - A mix of generic to outright bad. Crane delivers his lines with all the humanity and charm of a cardboard cutout.

Cinematography: 2/5 - Uninspired.

Editing: 2/5 - Inept cuts are used to poorly portray attacks.

Music: 2/5

Choreography & Stunts: 1.5/5 - The "fight" scene with the "werewolf" is just awkward.

Sets: 2/5 - Bland. Some look artificial.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 2.5/5 - Nothing memorable.

Trigger Warnings:

Mild violence

Racist portrayal of Romani people as evil, magical devil worshipers

Brownface (performance only; not make-up)

Inaccurate and racist description of the Vodou religion

CRY OF THE WEREWOLF (1944) Reviews of Columbia's misfire

Cry of the Werewolf is a 1944 film starring Nina Foch, based on a story by Griffin Jay and directed by Henry Levin. Following The Return of the Vampire, this was Columbia Studio’s second broadside attack on Universal’s stranglehold of the horror market. Plot: Plummy-toned tour guide, Peter Althius (John Abbott) enthrals a captive audience with tales of the strange goings-on in the stately home…

You know Content Warning? Lethal Company but youtube videoing? 

Danny does that- just well, with the Zone. It’s not like it can be mapped out, what with people moving their Lairs and more lairs and islands constantly manifesting. And well, there’s so many things out here, and it’s not like he can be an astronaut.

So, he decided to make exploration logs for the Zone instead, alongside his friends and a doppelganger or two holding equipment. It’s great, and people can donate whenever he live streams so he’s getting income too. 

He just erm, maybe should have double checked it was uploaded to just his dimension…
