Sven- The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

 From Wiki- The Curse of the Werewolf is a 1961 British horror film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Clifford Evans, Oliver Reed and Yvonne Romain.^[1] It was based on the novel The Werewolf of Paris by Guy Endore.^[2] It was produced by Anthony Hinds for Hammer Film Productions.  The leading part of the werewolf was Oliver Reed's first starring role in a film and composer Benjamin Frankel's score is notable for its use of twelve-tone serialism, rare in film music.^[3] It was the first werewolf film to be shot in colour. Back to me now:

 Let's make a werewolf movie with only a few minutes of the actual werewolf in it.  The cast is great, and helps, but it is not my favorite wolf movie.  It never aired in our region, so I don't know how I would have reacted to it back then.  It is not too gory, but it is violent.  The first third of the movie is also a bit hard to watch. It is also pretty predictable, but you can say that about most werewolf movies.  The makeup is pretty great, though.  I do wish we had more werewolf in it.
