Product Description:
The shivery tale of brutal New York city murders pointing to a heretofore secret breed of wolf-like creatures.
Amazon.com:
Wolfen is definitely the oddest and most socially conscious of the three big werewolf movies released in 1981 (the others were The Howling and An American Werewolf in London). Rumpled detective Albert Finney is investigating some brutal NYC murders, which leads him to discover that the collapsing buildings of the South Bronx are home to a pack of very vindictive wolflike creatures. American Indian mythology and environmental issues are more to the point here than silver-bullet lycanthropy. As a police procedural, the movie's a bust, its rhythms wrong and Finney's tortured Brooklyn accent unconvincing. But as a horror-mood piece, it can get under your skin. Some trippy photography, plus a bunch of interesting actors at the beginnings of their film careers (Diane Venora, Gregory Hines, and a lean and hungry Edward James Olmos), outweigh the druggy pace and period hairstyles. Director Michael Wadleigh (Woodstock) never made another feature. --Robert Horton

This film has a lot of atmospere. It turns a late 70s looking NYC into a gothic slum. If you like the tone of movies like the Shining, Howling, etc, then this one will catch your interest. I won't say it's as good as either of those movies, but there's a familiar late 70s vibe in Wolfen which came out in '81. The cinematography is eerie, high quality and artisic. At nearly 2 hours (114 mins) it's moody meandering drags occasionally. But viewers are rewarded with some splendid shots of the city ... Read More

For an early 80's horror film this is not bad, not bad at all. sure the special effects are a bit pathetic and the dialogue is a tad cliché, but the film does induce a level of fear and paranoia found in any good horror film. Released in 1981 in the middle of the early 80s horror boom, Wolfen was released in the same year as the other two big werewolf pictures An American Werewolf In London and The Howling, and was regarded as the weakest film in the werewolf genre but that isn't really accurate or ...

i have to say i had high hopes for this flick. was i totally let down. while i liked the wolves killing people, i did not like how they added a indian type of theme to it. not my cup of tea. if you like werewolf movies and thinking that what you are going to get out of this one, don't buy it.

Wolfen is not a werewolf movie, don't go into this film expecting or wanting that, go into this film with an open mind.
At the beginning of the film a real estate tycoon is killed, his wife, and there driver by something unknown. A New York City Detective Dewey Wilson is put on the case who is played by Albert Finney. Dewey has had personal problems, he eats donuts after running and he delivers quick one liners like a detective in an old film noir. Gregory Hines assists Finney's character ... Read More

Why are so many movies falling under the category of "it had potential"? If you figure it out, drop me a line.
Anyway, let's begin this review by examining the title. Wolfen is a combination of the noun "wolf" + the suffix "-en." The "-en" part means "to increase the quality of." So, what we have here is an "increase" of a "wolf" or to put it another way, more wolf than a regular wolf. This comparison will become obvious to you when you see the second half of the film.
