According to Wiki: Due to the small production budget, the "werewolf" was played by an Alsatian.
And that is really all that need be said about this film. I would like to read the Blish story it's based on, though.
It's a cold, cruel world. A world that taunts me and slaps me across the face with metaphorical gauntlets. A world in which I have to write a werewolf novel of my own. Not a novel with werewolves in it, but an all-out, harbls-to-the-wall werewolf book. Scary werewolves who want to eat your face.
Moonlight through bare trees, lonely moors, haunted ancestral estates, family drama, ancient curses, survivor guilt.... Hell, I'm almost tempted to use the werewolf-as-rape metaphor*.
*falls to her knees and Wolverine-screams*
This is not my novel-brain. There has been some sort of mix-up.
*As opposed to vampires-as-seduction. Vampires have to be invited. Werewolves attack you, brutalize you, and leave you scarred and lashing out.
