Simultaneously Adopting the Universal Studio's Werewolf Template (Gypsies, Folklore, Supernatural) and Not (animal wolf, no moon cycle, hereditary, bite=infected),
this Columbia Release Holds its Own and Delivers a Respectable Mystery Thriller.
A Creepy Movie with Little Comedy Relief and an Emphasis on Scholarly Research and Police Investigation.
The B-Cast and Budget Restraints (Columbia was the most cash deficient of the Majors) keep the Film in a Low-Budget Look.
But Manages to Display Atmosphere and a Credible Tone of Other Worlds and a Haunting Layer of Dread.
Overall, a Better Movie than it has any Right to be.
Surprises with an Entertainment Value that makes it a Solid Entry in the Horror Genre from the Time Period.
