Wolfen, a frightening horror movie based upon a novel by Whitley Strieber, concerns Detective Dewey Wilson (Albert Finney), who gets assigned to investigate the strange murder of a millionaire and his wife in a downtown park. Wilson and his friend, city coroner Whittington (Gregory Hines), aided by criminal psychologist Rebecca Neff (Diane Venora) connect the killing to those of several others, primarily winos, drug addicts and derelicts, all of whom seem to have been mutilated by wild animals. Their search leads them to a group of Native Americans led by Edward James Olmos who tell them of a legend of a superior species that once roamed the area, but now are living and hunting in the slums of New York. The film is engrossing, frightening and intelligent, with sensational special effects. Director Michael Wadleigh uses these effects to great advantage, frequently showing the movements of the characters through the eyes of the "Wolfen." This film is also the screen debut of Hines . |

June Wolfen is one of those films I revisit every few years. I have to admit the Blu-ray a/v is a substantial difference over the old snapper-cased DVD. Maybe it's Finney, maybe Blalack's effects, perhaps the Indian-relationship to the Wolfen creature (this is kinda of a modern creature-feature) - but I have always had a soft spot for this film and glad I own it in HD now. |
