3.0 out of 5 stars For Naschy Fans Only, March 10, 2002

This review is from: The Fury of the Wolfman (DVD)

One of Naschy's lesser Werewolf films, this is a confusing mess, not helped by the terrible transfer - barely colour, pan and scanned and badly dubbed. But it's cheap, and there's so little Naschy available. So for Naschy fans only.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good werewolf films aren't this complicated, August 15, 2003

This review is from: The Fury of the Wolfman (DVD)

Over time, I've come to appreciate Paul Naschy, the horror icon sometimes referred to as the Lon Chaney of his native Spain. Certainly, no one has worked as extensively in the werewolf genre as he has (with 13 werewolf films to his credit). However, his 1970 effort, Fury of the Wolfman (which is, I believe, his fourth werewolf movie)is a convoluted mess; this is the kind of movie you read about on the Internet after you watch it in order to find out what the heck was really going on.

As the film opens, we find Professor Daninsky having just arrived home as the sole survivor of a scientific expedition to Tibet (the details of which are told quite inarticulately in a small series of woeful flashbacks). Life does not rush to meet him with open arms. As if being somehow stricken by the curse of the werewolf atop the snowy rooftop of the world weren't enough, the guy finds out his wife is cheating on him and that she and her lover have set in motion a plan to kill him (the latter part of which he figures out a little too late). Meanwhile, there is this really weird doctor at whatever "school" this is who goes on and on about how her discovery of "chematrobes" will allow her to control the minds of everyone on earth. She knows Daninsky's secret, and she brings him back to life in order to experiment on him; she seems especially fond of letting him out in his werewolf form in order for him to stalk the countryside killing people and acting like a fool. You have several weird love stories interlaced through all this mess to further complicate matters. Inconsistencies abound; for instance, the good doctor has a gang of crazy young people locked up in her castle, supposedly the product of earlier experimentation. One minute, these folks are having an intoxicated love-in, and the next they are all chained up and mute.

The special effects aren't anything to write home about, as the werewolf looks more like a big monkey to me half the time. The kills are as unsatisfying as can be; the werewolf basically puts his head on the victim's shoulder and raises his head back up, leaving a big red spot on the victim's throat and cheek. Nobody even bleeds in this film. This plus the confusing and really rather ridiculous plot make Fury of the Wolfman more of an ordeal to be endured than a film to be enjoyed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Everybody's Wolf Chow!..., September 5, 2006

Paul Naschy is at it again! He's a wolfman in facial-fuzz, rubber fangs, and a big Elvis wig! He actually looks more like Wolfman Jack than a true lycanthrope. Anyway, this time around, he gets in a car wreck (arranged by his loving wife and her boyfriend) and supposedly dies. Luckily, the local M.D.(mad doctor) named Eva Wolfstein (!!) digs him out of his grave, takes him back to her secret lab, and revives him. You see, the good doctor wants a man like Naschy real bad! She wants both a love slave in human form, and a werewolf to cause mayhem during the full moon! I told you she was mad! FOTW is alright. It's schlocky to the core, but it's probably supposed to be. I especially like the drugged hippies in the castle dungeon! What was that all about?? An extra star for Dr. Wolfstein. She's a sadistic sort w/ an eeeevil twinkle in her eyes! My kind of woman! Rowwrrr!...
