Will chill you to the bone.

1981 was a banner year for horror (if that in fact, was your bag, baby!!), but I'm well aware that many of the best horror outings were left in the rubble. Michael Wadleigh's "WOLFEN" was one of them.

Based on Whitley Streiber's heralded novel, "WOLFEN" stars Albert Finney as a rogue, grizzled NYPD officer who is investigating the grisly murders of a wealthy developer and his strung out wife. With help from a wisecracking mortician (played by the late, great Gregory Hines), he soon learns that these violent murders were not perpetrated by human hand, but by intelligent lycanthropes who roam the slums of New York protecting their soon to be demolished turf.

The rest I will not reveal, but mark my words, "WOLFEN" will scare you senseless! I may be the only one to claim that stance, but I firmly believe it will! Another bonus is the film's use of Native American mysticism to create it's haunting atmosphere. For those who felt that American Indians got a raw deal; this film proves socially relevant.

For those who like a good lasting scare, "WOLFEN" is the movie for you.
