The Werewolf (1956)

[5]

A car crash victim (Steven Ritch) is injected with wolf serum by experimenting scientists and before long, hirsute hijinks ensue. This werewolf flick from prolific B-movie producer Sam Katzman plays up the emotional and psychological angles better than most, but still ends like any other we’ve seen before. The best scenes are ones in which the afflicted man interacts with his wife and young son, who try to talk him into coming home and getting medical help for his condition. The makeup effects are okay, but I wish this werewolf didn’t run around in a business suit. In the end, the townspeople grab their torches and march into the woods toward an uninspired climax.
