Here come some more positive remarks about Moon of the Wolf. Remember, it was made - for television - in 1972. That, in my opinion, allows for the very chintzy make-up, and, hence, limited screen time for the werewolf. Professional acting. And it's not a knock when I say that the plot is simple: Who (or what) got this small, Louisiana town all worked up after the body of a young female resident is discovered? That's sheriff Janssen's mission. We are introduced to a few suspects along the way; plus, a rekindled romance. In fact, most of this movie is just an earthly mystery/thriller; turning fantasy only toward the end. It's certainly worth one's time - even a reasonable amount of money to rent or to buy.
