Joel Silverstein

The director obviously has some talent. There were some suspenseful scenes and great photography. However, the movie does not even try to mine werewolf lore, falling back on some vague, American Indian explanation. Furthermore, it sets up a complex family dynamic , which it really does not carry through . The make up and special effects were just OK. And truthfully, the movie made little to no attempt on being a Wolf Man movie. Lon Chaney is spinning in his grave. A truly bobbled effort.

Like a silent movie. Dreamlike hypnotic.Much better than I expected!

Great show depicting a fascinating time. Long in coming! Bass Reeves finally gets his due!

I actually love this movie more than My Darling Clementine. Great star chemistry between Lancaster and Douglas. They play off each other like a macho Laurel and Hardy team; Burt is stoic and quiet. Kirk brooding , neurotic and prone to violent action. Each man reaches the heights of duty and destiny for friendship’s sake. The mood and the color are glorious! Great performances all around. I am shocked you don’t hear about this Western more. Both Clementine and Tombstone are discussed more often and with greater affection . This film is perhaps not as good as, but in the same company as , Shane and High Noon.
