MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

evanston_dad "Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory" surprised me by actually being kind of a good movie, with a nice creepy atmosphere reminiscent of the classic Hammer films of old.I say it surprised me because it was part of a 50 movie DVD collection I bought for $15 and which contains mostly lamentable movies copied to DVD with the worst quality imaginable. But as I've been working my way through them, I every so often come across one that's half-way decent, and this film was one of those. It's part monster movie, part murder mystery. A new teacher arrives at a school for troubled young women around the same time that mysterious and brutal deaths begin occurring on school grounds. There are far more characters than such a short film needs, but they're introduced to be nothing more than suspects and distractions, filling time with plot until the true lycanthrope is revealed at the film's end. I do have to say that the identify of the werewolf did truly surprise me, and happened to be the last character I suspected, so in that sense the movie delivered quite nicely on its murder mystery promise.The film looks like it was made for about $3, which it probably was, and you'll have to make do with dubbing, at least if you see the same copy I did. But the low budget actually helps a bit to add to the atmosphere, especially the eerie black and white photography.Make no mistake -- this is still very much a bargain bin movie, and there are a thousand films I would recommend before this one, but if you happen to come across it know that it's not a waste of your time.Grade: B-

bkoganbing Unless your taste runs to blood and gore I wouldn't get too exciting over the titillating title Werewolf In A Girl's Dormitory. Even though this is a special school for girls with behavioral problems they're all quite respectably clothed. There isn't even that much blood in the film although the usual screaming quotient is there.This film also illustrates the fickleness of careers even in one family. Around a time when Maximilian Schell got a Best Actor Oscar for Judgment At Nuremberg and sister Maria Schell was doing things like the big budget remake of Cimarron, brother Carl was busy doing Werewolf In A Girl's Dormitory. He's a new faculty member who actually is experimenting in lycanthropy when bodies start popping up around the school. Naturally suspicion falls on him.All kind of dumb, only for the most addicted horror and gore fan.

vegeta3986 Welcome to Werewolf in a Girl's Dormatory (well that's the name of the version i got). #10 out of 50 movies in the Chilling Classics pack. I can't believe you lasted this long. Oh well, maybe you're just as crazy as i am. So lets jump into WIAGD.The movie begins with a new professor coming to a school for wayward girls. soon after he shows up a werewolf shows up on campus and kills a girl. but everyone thinks it's just a wolf. Turns out the girl who was killed had some blackmail going on with another character, but it wasn't involved in the motivation for the killing at all. the killing was actually just random. YAY needless story arcs! So The lois lane equivalent decides to investigate this murder further. And she turns out to be by far the most irritating character in the movie. half the time you just want her to mind her own damn business and stop doing the crap she's doing. but of course we're not that lucky.there's a whole side story about getting letters to prove that this old guy was bumping uglies with a girl at the dormitory but it really doesn't amount to anything because he's not the killer. It turns out the killer is the guy who runs the school. So the whole story about how the professor lost his doctor license and how he came in contact with a werewolf and she accidentally died in his care was completely pointless and not needed.The main problem with this movie is that the main female lead is incredibly annoying. Not like "ho boy i hope she does something!" but like "oh my god, somebody kill her already!" but it won't be the werewolf. oh no. he only gets ONE KILL in the entire movie. like 4 other people die, but either they commit suicide, have an accident, or somebody else kills them.This movie takes too long to say what it wants to say and is very boring because of it. It's not painfully boring, just yawnfully boring as you pull out your DS while it's playing.What's also odd is, i don't think the guy's really a werewolf. Either he's not meant to BE a werewolf, or he they had five dollars for a budget. Either way it confused me.With boring scenes, annoying characters, and too many non-werewolf deaths, "Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory" gets 3 howling wolfmen, out of 10.

ferbs54 Just last week, I finished reading Guy Endore's classic 1933 novel "The Werewolf of Paris," a highly intelligent, insightful look at this legendary creature of modern-day folklore. Last night I watched the 1961 Italian/Austrian coproduction "Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory," a film that is hardly classic, overly intelligent or insightful, but that did come as a nice treat for me anyway. To my great surprise, this is not the teenage lycanthrope panty raid that I had been expecting, or the camp fest that the title would lead one to anticipate. The film deals with a series of brutal murders in a young women's reformatory school in what is supposed to be the U.S. but feels distinctly European. To its credit, the movie boasts some pretty creepy atmosphere, effective music, very passable B&W photography, and very decent acting (although it's hard to tell for sure about that last with the terrible dubbing). It feels like a cross between a monster flick and an early Italian "giallo," with a dash of mystery thrown in. Who IS the werewolf? Is it the new, hunky blond professor with a secret in his past? The lecherous old teacher who's being blackmailed by one of the students? Or howzabout the Igor-like, handicapped handyman? Most viewers will never guess; I know I didn't! The Maltin book inexplicably gives this film its lowest "BOMB" rating, but I think the editors there are being way too harsh. Although "Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory" is nothing great, it still deserves some respect for the effective and well-put-together thriller that it is.
