It's not a werewolf movie in that it doesn't strictly have a werewolf, but it's played just like one.<BR/><BR/>And with that in mind, what about - and I know you love this movie - Brotherhood of the Wolf? Surely that can be counted? Okay, not a werewolf, but it is for all intents a werewolf movie, same ingredients, same flavour...badgerdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275758525851693777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-403590164417145462008-10-20T23:55:00.000-04:002008-10-20T23:55:00.000-04:00Evyl - Ah, Silver Bullet.

I haven't seen the others you mentioned. However, I can't entirely concur on the Underworld comment. As a horror movie, it doesn't quite fit the genre, but I think it's still a great action movie in it's own right, with a great portrayal of the wolfman. Besides, I'd totally let Kate Beckinsale suck my . . . . . blood.Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673647369314747918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-11657357235146554182008-10-20T14:27:00.000-04:002008-10-20T14:27:00.000-04:00Girly - Heya, and thanks!

Hate the Teen Wolf!<BR/><BR/>Avitable - I liked all three, with the 3rd being my least favorite. And what's with all the Teen Wolf love?<BR/><BR/>Faiqa - ANOTHER TEEN WOLF FAN! WHAT THE HELL? And yes, there are many more good vampire films than werewolf films. But they aren't very scary. Most of them.<BR/><BR/>Slyde - I've always like Ginger Snaps more than you, but I have to give you credit for recommending it to me in the first place. Well done, sir!<BR/><BR/>RW - Murnau was a genius and Nosferatu works effectivly as horror even today. So does Dracula, even if it is slightly more campy. My favorites from yonder are the James Whale offerings. Frankenstein, Bride of Frankestein, The Invisible Man. Big James Whale fan. Not in a gay way, of course. :)Verdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-48454499582210263452008-10-20T11:19:00.000-04:002008-10-20T11:19:00.000-04:00I have aesthetic problems with horror films that a...I have aesthetic problems with horror films that are not done in a black and white, quasi-film noir view. <BR/><BR/>the old silent Nosferatu is still the quintessential horror flick in my world, though Ok no, no werewolves. but... you know...RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416316296228157208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-62662939682515789372008-10-20T10:34:00.000-04:002008-10-20T10:34:00.000-04:00wow.sir, you have stunned me.I have nothing to add...wow.<BR/><BR/>sir, you have stunned me.<BR/><BR/>I have nothing to add.

Gonna have to check em out. My partner just piped in with Teen Wolf and Teen Wolf II with jason Bateman which he thought was pretty scary... I know Wolf with Jack Nicholson wasn't that gory or scary in your regular horror flick way but I thought it put an interesting spin on the whole werewolf theme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
