Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite writer / director Paul Annett's objections, producer Milton Subotsky (who hated this film) insisted on the "Werewolf Break" gimmick, where the viewer was invited to guess who the werewolf is.
- GoofsWhen the alarm shows that the werewolf has left the estate and is prowling in the forest, Tom has his surveillance expert help him track the beast. He could have taken a few seconds to look in on all the guests via the spy cameras to see which one was missing from their room and so discover the werewolf's identity, but this does not seem to even occur to him.
- Quotes
Narrator of the Werewolf Break: This film is a detective story - in which you are the detective. The question is not "Who is the murderer?", but "Who is the werewolf?" After all the clues have been shown, you will get a chance to give your answer. Watch for the Werewolf Break.
- Crazy credits[at the beginning of the film, with narration] This film is a detective story - in which you are the detective. The question is not "Who is the murderer?", but "Who is the werewolf?" After all the clues have been shown, you will get a chance to give your answer. [said but not written on-screen, directly after the above quote] Watch for the Werewolf Break.
- Alternate versionsAlso released on home video as "Black Werewolf" without the Werewolf Break in it.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Gentle Touch: Melody (1980)
Featured review
what a great idea. badly executed. the best big game hunter in the world tries to kill a werewolf. seems to me like he was one of the worst shots, let alone one of the worst hunters in the world. not once did he use his skills, relying on everyone else around him to do the work for him, and he could just walk in for the kill. wheres the honour in killing your foe with a machine gun? i sat and watched as a film i'd wanted to see went plodding along until the end(though the ending was quite good). a weak film with some 'jazzy' music. what would terence fisher have done with it? made it fun at least. for once, a remake might do this idea justice. and make it scary this time, darnit!
