Summary: nice little picture
Review: First of all I would like to [say] that this film is dubbed and that's why it seemed like the characters lips weren't moving at times. Obviously he hasn't been exposed to the european stage because dubious dubbing is
ubiquitous throughout this genre here in North America. Good luck in tracking down the subtitled version. Anyway this film was great. Nice to see a brilliant sumptuous transfer in tact here. Actually the dubbing wasn't as bad in this one either. Make sure to watch Werewolf Shadow as a precursor to this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Bad
Review: Heres one i took a chance on, having never viewed it. Nice atmosphere helps a pretty good Werewolf story. In fact this is a story of a werewolfs origin due to a curse put on an ancestor of the man. Sexy women abound as witches, and the Werewolfs love interests.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A TRUE MASTER OF MACABRE CINEMA
Review: I've always enjoyed Pual Naschy's work. He's especially good as a werewolf and has been playing that character since 1968 in close to a dozen films. I was eager to see this movie and then I read the reviews on here. One person said this movie had "mindless nudity, sex, cheesy werewolf make up etc." and then I was REALLY eager to see it! I got my grubby little hands on it and popped it in the DVD player and settled back and hit play and WOW! This is a fun movie and a great DVD! The picture quality is superb and there are tons of great extras. The promised "mindless nudity, sex, cheesy werewolf make up etc." are indeed all there too! Naschy gives another wonderful performance and the picture quality of this DVD is far superior to all the poor prints we've been forced to endure in the past. Naschy has established himself as a master of macabre cinema and the high quality presentation of this DVD is a great tribute to the man and a true treat for his fans.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: With these kinds of films, you take what you can get.
Review: Once you get past the obvious setbacks of the film: an unconvincing lead, very bad make-up, horribly choreographed violence, and a pretty [weak]ending--there is some enjoyment to be had from Curse of the Devil. To begin with, the story is actually pretty involving and the plot has some tricky forks in it at times. The idea is very good: an arrogant hero pays for that arrogance through a satanic curse, which seemingly is unbeatable. Unfortunately, you have to make the mother of all suspensions of belief to deal with the actual werewolf. Naschy just wasn't suited (bad pun!) for the job. When you do have close-ups of the creature, there just isn't any menace conveyed-merely a frozen make-up expression. When he attacks, it is almost comedic as, for most of the film, he quickly runs on screen and then off before the viewer has a chance to even register what has happened. The opening sequence, if you're able to not laugh at what must be one of the lamest swordfight scenes ever filmed, is kinda cool with the way the pink tint conveys an otherworldly and othertimely atmosphere. The gypsies in the beginning are very convincing in their vengeful rage. All in all, it's not a bad movie. There just aren't that many werewolf movies out there, so Curse of the Devil will come as a happy expansion on what you are already familiar with concerning werewolves of the screen.

Summary: Supposed sequel
Review: This is a supposedly rumored sequel to "werewolf shadow" but I found this film just lots of mindless nudity, sex and cheesy werewolf makeup etc. If you have seen this before and liked it then you will more than likely enjoy it in the new format, good picture quality etc..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Naschy is at it again.
Review: This is another in the set of Naschy werewolf films and it is great. It is cult viewing at it's best and who better to play the werewolf than Naschy himself. If you're a cult movie fan or love werewolf movies then this is a keeper.
