Rainey Dawn La furia del Hombre Lobo AKA Fury of the Wolfman (1972) is not as bad as it's rating or as the critics say it is. It's not the best film Paul Naschy has been in nor is it the best "Wolfman" type of film out there but it's a better film than it's given credit for.One of the biggest complaints I've read is voice overdubbing. The copy of the film I've seen the the voice overdubbing is fine - really good. It was synced nicely with the film. And the voices that were used to overdub with are good. I don't understand the complaints here.Another thing is is slowness - that it is. It does build very slowly and could have been a little faster by leaving out some of the things from the other science experiments and getting to the point(The Wolfman) a bit faster but overall it's not a bad watch. Towards the end we get more of the wolfman - the heart of the story.The music chosen for this film I'm not overly crazy about - it really does not fit the film to me. But that is a very minor thing.5/10

MartinHafer I saw the American dub of this terrible film. Whether it's less terrible in its original Spanish, I have no idea. Regardless, I cannot imagine it being much better!The film is a strange melange of disparate ideas that don't seem like they should be in the same movie. As far as the wolfman in the title goes, he's in the beginning and the end but in the middle he's kind of forgotten. This portion is about an insane notion of a scientist and you wonder how dumb ANY research assistant could be who works for her. After all, her research is done on living people who are kept shackled up in a dungeon in a castle...in the 1970s! The fact she turned out to be insane certainly should have come as no surprise to any one! But the goofy plot isn't the big reason the film is terrible. In the English language version, the dubbing is pretty bad and the dialog sometime really awful. The sound effects for the werewolf are also unintentionally hilarious. Finally, the music really is NOT appropriate for a horror film. Overall, it's a film that you could understand why it's fallen into the public domain--no one would want to claim ownership over it! Silly, dumb and ridiculous.

Chase_Witherspoon Paul Naschy stars as the tragic Walter Daninski character for what must be the fifth or sixth incarnation, this time he's been attacked by a yeti-like creature while on an expedition in Tibet. The twist here is the presence of his co-worker Dr Alman (Cristal) who moonlights as a mad scientist developing zombies that awaken under her control. Journalist (Rivers) becomes interested in both Daninski and Alman when his girlfriend (Lujan) disappears while assisting Alman with her experiments.The first thirty minutes shows promise - Daninski is cuckolded by his pretty but neglected wife (Zorilla), wrecks his car in an automobile accident, then undergoes the hirsute metamorphosis anticipated by the film's title. The film thereafter is a nonsense; while the narrative tries to focus on the jealousy, tragedy and despair of the central characters (Naschy, Cristal and Lujan) as they compete with their alter egos and conflicted loyalties, the context isn't sincere - it's just hokey.Naschy's werewolf is a crazed manimal, bounding about frantically like a rabid chimp, it's amusing moreso than frightening. I can certainly appreciate what the film was attempting to be, but at best it's a romantic melodrama spiced by some monkey nut running around biting random people while a demented scientist does human experiments on hippies and drunks for mind control purposes. I'm not certain that's what Naschy was aiming for, but that was my experience.

Hitchcoc This is quite a graphically violent and explicit film. It's much more graphic than I expected. It's not really a werewolf movie. There are violent attacks where throats are ripped out, but it doesn't really have the supernatural element we might expect. This is a case study of a woman who has been so badly abused that she loses her sense of self and strikes out against all men. Even when things begin to go well, it's as if she has been singled out for some kind of demonic punishment. Unfortunately, many others suffer her wrath, some deserving, others not. The scenes are pretty explicit and ugly. This is one of those movies that kind of grabs you but it's more like going to an auto wreck than something desirable. It's not badly made and moves pretty well. Be forewarned, however, that it isn't for all tastes. Once again, with a little budget and some better editing, it could have worked better. The werewolf transition scenes aren't too bad.
