La malédiction du loup-garou

This movie had some chilling and gross scenes, some of which I will never forget. Mostly, because I was only 14 years old when I saw it. Maybe, it is because I could relate to much of it from the kids point of view. Heck, I lived with an alcoholic mother who could run circles around the werewolf when it came to tearing things apart and scaring little kids!

Universal certainly got their money's worth; milking their original property, the classic Wolfman for characters and set pieces. There is the gentle, caring man who is cursed to kill strangers and even tries to kill the one he loves. There are the gypsies turned hippies that shout warnings of impending doom. Oh, and don't forget that it takes silver to kill a werewolf.

I watched this one again 15 years later and I saw it for the B-Movie that it was, but I'll still hold a special place for it in my heart because it did what movies are supposed to do: transported me someplace else, got me interested in the characters and best of all, it TRULY SCARED me!

When I was 10 years old I saw this movie on t.v.with my older brother. It really caused me to fear and oddly love werewolf's.My brother and I spent every weekend of our youth in the woods camping with my father.My older brother (by two years) never got tired of convincing me that he saw or heard something that he swore must of been a werewolf. As the years rolled by I forgot that for me this movie started it all. When I was older I asked my brother if he remembered this movie, he said he had no idea what I was talking about. It drove me insane as I searched for it over the years never getting any closer to validation that it did exist.I can not wait to finally sit down and watch this treasure again laughing, I am sure at a movie that seemed so scary as a youth. Thank you IMDb for finally bringing me this grand closer. This movie is amazing.

A young boy and his father are attacked by a werewolf and, in the process of saving their lives, his father is bitten by the werewolf. Now, he has to warn everyone that his father becomes a werewolf at night and no one believes him.

The tone of The Boy Who Cried Werewolf is all over the place. It's too silly to be taken seriously as a horror film with any sort of tension, but it's not funny enough to be spoof which leaves in a weird in-between place where nothing really works. It also features some of the most annoying Christian hippies you'll ever meet. Every time they show up, it almost seems like the film is going for comedy or trying to satirize something, but it doesn't amount to much.

Robert Bridgestone (Kerwin Mathews) has divorced his wife Sandy Bridgestone (Elaine Devry) and travels with his son Richie Bridgestone (Scott Sealey) to an isolated cabin to spend a couple of days together. While walking during the night, Robert is attacked and bitten by a werewolf. Robert fights and kills him in self-defense and he turns into a man again. Richie claims to the Sheriff (Robert J. Wilke) and to his father that the man was a werewolf but nobody believes in the boy. His psychologist thinks it may be a trauma and Sandy decides to travel back to the cabin with Robert and Richie in the full moon. When a werewolf attacks the locals, the Richie claims that his father is a werewolf.

"The Boy Who Cried Werewolf" is a nice werewolf film, with the story of a boy that knows that his father is a werewolf but nobody believes him. The subplot with the hippies is silly but in general the film is enjoyable. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "A Maldição da Lua Cheia" ("The Curse of the Full Moon")

This dull, badly acted "werewolf" movie probably cleared drive-ins faster than a tornado when it was unleashed in 1973.

It has the production values of a rushed TV-film, and awful dialogue you can recite before it is uttered by the poor actors.

As for shocks and thrills, look elsewhere. Your cellar has more menace than this movie.

The music score is atrocious and grating. There is zero horror atmosphere in this little Z-grade turkey.

The inclusion of Jesus freaks midway through does nothing to make this any more mundane.

The initial werewolf appearance is not bad, but it all goes downhill from there.
