Hard To Find Classic 70's Made For TV Movie, June 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Scream of the Wolf [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is your movie if you liked watching Kolchak:The Night Stalker back in the mid-70's. It is produced and directed by the same creative force behind that one, Dan Curtis. This movie relies much on atmosphere and great spooky music that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. SCREAM includes great acting by its stars Peter Graves and Clint Walker(who also delivers some of the most classic lines of a hunter gone mad). So, if you want to return back to the 70's and see a classic made for tv movie, I highly suggest you check this one out. Five out of five stars.

Clint Walker is chilling in this film, May 13, 2007
This review is from: Scream of the Wolf [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have always loved werewolves, but this one has a twist. Won't give the movie away, but Clint Walker spent 20 years playing goody two shoes roles in Hollywood, like WB's and ABC's "Cheyenne" and he did a lot of great films where he wasn't quite the good guy, "Fort Dobbs" sticks out. But overall, he played a Saint. This movie he doesn't. He's a bit older in it and so is Peter Graves. But the movie is well worth seeing. I loved every chilling moment of it, with the shocking ending. I suggest you buy it if you are a fan of Walker's, Graves' or Werewolf genre.

Another Dan Curtis Classic!, September 18, 2007
I won't go into the whole plot of this movie but I will say that there is a twist at the end.
If you grew up with Curtis's other classic flicks such as The Night Stalker, The Night Strangler, and The Norliss Tapes, then you'll appreciate the job he's done on this film. A bonus I didn't even know about until I saw the opening credits was Richard Matheson did the teleplay for this made-for-TV movie.
But I have to agree with the other reviewers that the video quality is pretty weak. A fair amount of grain and other digital artifacts can be found throughout the film. Not enough to get on a person's nerves, though. But, at least Brentwood/BCI released this classic on DVD.
Here's a tip: Don't buy the more expensive title above with the wolf on the cover. Buy Brentwood's "Beasts of Terror" package which gives you four movies for under ten dollars! You get "Scream of the Wolf" included plus some other interesting horror films. Makes sense. Right?
Thumbs up! I only wish they'd pull out all the stops one day and release a comprehensive package covering Dan Curtis's horror films. Maybe one day while I'm still around. ;-)
