Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

tavm I first saw a lot of this movie when it was shown on HBO in 1982 when I was a young teen. As such, some of the dialogue went over my head as I was more interested in seeing the wolf killings and the thermographic POV shots from those creatures than the story itself. Now that I just watched it again online, it starts in measured tones much of the time before the first kills and doesn't reach a crescendo until the end. Albert Finney is fine as the alcoholic cop. I also liked Diane Venora as the shrink he teams up with and Gregory Hines as the one who helps analyze the unusual hairs on the victims. Also, Edward James Olmos as one of the American Indians-or Native Americans-Finney talks to about the "wolfen". So on that note, I highly recommend Wolfen.

adrianovasconcelos I watched WOLFEN when it first came out (1981, I think) and remember marveling at the "negative" effects, memorably when Finney makes love to Venora. I watched it again recently and, inexorably, those then special effects produced derision only from my children, who are used to computer effects. That said, I still enjoyed Finney's laid-back performance, Hines' snappy lines, and the wolves are gorgeous. Sadly, Olmos' qualities are wasted in a ludicrous role, Venora seems to be around just to appear in the above mentioned memorable lovemaking sequence, direction is patchy at best and the story takes a great deal of suspending your disbelief. Oddly, there is something surprisingly good natured about this purported horror flick.

Rainey Dawn Wolfen is not your average run-of-the-mill werewolf film. This one deals with Native American Shapeshifters - spirits if you will. There are quite a few stories and legends of them floating around in our society and this touches on that. This one is unlike any other werewolf film I have ever seen.Note: I *think* in the Twilight Saga that Jacob Black is based on these Native American legends and tales but Wolfen (book and the film) came out well before Twilight. And Wolfen is a far superior story than the werewolves of Twilight.Wolfen is a bit bloody but it's not mindless killings with lots of blood and gore... this film actually has a story - a good story to tell its viewers. Well worth watching.9/10

januaryman-1 I'm a huge fan of horror movies (or monster movies as my brothers and I called them). I look at the several years on either side of 1980 as a second golden age for horror films, with the first being, of course, in the 50s. Wolfen is, at times, confusing. When the movie ended, I wasn't quite sure what had happened, but it didn't matter; the parts between the beginning and end were wonderfully frightening. Finney and the lovely Venora play NYC detectives trying to solve a growing number of mutilation killings around a neighborhood being demolished for redevelopment. (Abandoned buildings seem somewhat sinister all by themselves.) The credits are salted with names you'll recognize, but for most of the cast(as noted by the lack of photos), Wolfen was their fifteen minutes of fame. Specials effects seem primitive compared to today's computer generated, gee whiz stuff, and are mostly over-saturated shots used to show POV from the wolfen and to show the mayhem inflicted on various folks by wolfen. Despite the lack of sophistication, the POV effects and careful camera angles left me wanting to shout out warnings to the stalked. The tension in this movie is palpable and the characterizations by its cast are completely believable.
