We've seen it time and again in television, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Penny Dreadful, the wolfman has emerged as a standout player in supernaturally populated series. The carnal creatures have always in ensemble environments. While zombies, vampires, and slashers have come and gone from fashion time and again, and paranormal horror really never seems to go out of style, the werewolf picture has remained a somewhat rare anomaly in the horror landscape. We get a winner every once in a while, but aside from the bountiful genre-defining year 1981, which saw the release of Wolfen, The Howling, and An American Werewolf in London, the werewolf movie has never been a trend-setting driver of the horror genre.
The funny thing about werewolves is that, despite the fact that they're an enduring and iconic horror and fantasy creature, there's a shockingly slim selection of movies that tackle tales of lycanthropy, and even fewer that do it well.
